Ampion team members Sandy Kick and Brian Kick are participating again this year in the Ride for Roswell, an annual bike ride in Upstate New York that raises money for cancer research. They are riding the 45-mile route that passes by a number of farms that Ampion manages on behalf of our clients.

Many of these sites host ECLIPSE subscribers. The Erie County Low Income Program for Sustainable Energy (ECLIPSE) is an Erie County, NY program that enables income-eligible residents to benefit from Community Solar savings.

In 2024, Ampion was selected as the official Community Solar provider of the Erie County Low Income Program for Sustainable Energy (ECLIPSE). In addition to the environmental benefits, these projects provide up to 20% savings on residents’ electricity bills.

“ECLIPSE seeks to lower the energy burden for households that need relief while expanding access to renewable power,” said Sarah Sanford, Senior Energy Development Specialist and ECLIPSE Coordinator. “Our results show what’s possible when local government, community organizations, and renewable energy providers work together. Ampion has been an important partner in helping us scale quickly and ensure that community solar is accessible to the people who need it most.”

A number of the ECLIPSE subscribers live in the Fruitbelt neighborhood in Buffalo near Roswell Park Hospital.

📈 As electricity rates continue to rise due to grid infrastructure investments and surging demand, Community Solar offers a much-needed solution. A WHYY story highlights Ampion's partnership with our solar developer client, Dimension Energy, as we work together to bring renewable energy savings to the Wilmington, Delaware community.

💵 Ampion's CEO & Founder, Nate Owen, emphasizes that we are seeing unprecedented upward pressure on energy prices—largely driven by capacity auctions—and believes Community Solar is the only effective solution to provide immediate relief to consumers while stabilizing the grid.

☀️ Brandon Smithwood, VP, Policy at Dimension Energy, told WHYY about the speed at which can become available. Unlike traditional large-scale power plants, Community Solar projects can be built quickly, helping the grid keep pace with demand and providing savings of approximately 10 to 20% for local subscribers.

🌎 But it’s about more than just the savings. As a Wilmington subscriber, Brice Shirbach, puts it: "Going to a hybrid car is great, or using energy-efficient light bulbs is great, but the steps we need to be taking as a society are of a much larger scale. So, when something like this becomes available, it’s exciting and an opportunity to jump at the chance."

Proponents of community solar energy say the initiative is a solution to rising costs of electricity.
