You may have recently received a letter in the mail from Mayor DeShawn Williams about community solar, and we wanted to follow up to let you know that it is legitimate.

The City of is partnering with Nexamp on a community solar project located at our closed landfill. Through the State of Illinois’ Illinois Shines program, Urbana residents can subscribe and receive credits on their utility bills without installing solar panels on their own homes.

Nexamp has sent letters to eligible residents with more details, and I encourage you to take a look if you’re interested in saving on energy costs while supporting clean, local power.

To learn more or sign up, visit nexamp.com/Urbana or call 844-303-4947.

Sustainability Achieves Success

The City of Urbana’s bulk purchase program, Geothermal Urbana-Champaign has concluded the program year with 11 new geothermal heating and cooling installations totaling 45 tons of capacity. “Geothermal heat pumps are by far the most efficient heating and cooling systems available today. They're so efficient because they use no fuel, but rather use the earth's natural and consistent temperatures,” said John Freitag, executive director of the Geothermal Alliance of Illinois (GAOI) who is partnering with the City of Urbana to offer the program. “Through this program we are working to familiarize people with geothermal heating and cooling, as well as lower the initial investment for a geothermal system. We are very excited about the program because we know that geothermal systems can eliminate fossil fuel use for heating and cut the power bill by 50 percent or more.”

Through resident education and bulk purchasing, Geothermal Urbana-Champaign makes it faster, easier, and cheaper to install clean, renewable heating and cooling in homes and businesses. Over the course of the program’s 5 years, 57 systems have been installed totaling 280 tons of capacity.
