LIP-60: Who can be a subscriber under the Low-Income Community Solar Pilot RFP? Do we receive a credit if 100% of the Project is subscribed by low-income subscribers? How does this requirement compare to other sub-programs under Illinois Solar for All?

There are no adders or additional credit for a Project that is 100% subscribed by low-income subscribers.

Under the Low-Income Community Solar Pilot RFP, a subscriber to the Project must be either: a residential low-income customer residing in the community in which the Project is located; or: a community-based organization located in the community in which the Project is located.   Additionally, a subscriber must be a retail customer that receives net metering from the interconnection electric utility for the Project.  A subscription must be of no less than 200 watts and must be no more than 40% of the Project’s capacity.

As the Procurement Administrator for only this sub-program, we cannot speak to the rules and requirements of other Illinois Solar for All sub-programs; this response speaks only to the requirements of the Low-Income Community Solar Pilot RFP.
