No. This program is a subscription program that enables you to receive the solar energy directly to your premise. However, El Paso Electric owns and operates the solar facilities that generate this solar energy.
The service agreement and tariff documents are documents that were approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) in the filing to approve this program via Docket Number 55176, and as such cannot be modified by the customer.
The program is not intended to be a savings program. Though there are solar generation credits and fuel credits provided to subscribers of the program, these credits are dependent on the production of the solar facilities and the subscription amount from the customer. There is variability in the production of solar energy, which is impacted by factors such as cloud coverage or the amount of hours the sun is shining for.
