Aurora: keep more of your electric bill.
Aurora residents: Illinois pays local solar farms to feed clean energy into the grid, and ComEd customers can share in the credits. You keep 10% as savings — up to 20% if you're on assistance. Nothing installed at your home, nothing to buy, sign-up takes about 5 minutes.
See my savings — enroll free Secure enrollment via Ampion & VoltEra Energy — takes about 5 minutesOkay… what's the catch?
Fair question. There isn't one — here's how it works for Aurora households, in plain English.
Where the discount comes from
Illinois pays solar farms around the state to feed clean energy into the grid. When you join, you're allocated a share of one farm's output — and the credits from your share land on your ComEd bill every month.
What changes for you
Honestly? Just the total. Same ComEd service, same wires, same reliability. No panels, no home visits, no equipment. You keep 10% of your credit value as savings — up to 20% if you're on assistance.
How enrollment works
Enrollment is with Ampion, a public benefit corporation that's been running Illinois solar programs since the state opened them up in 2016. You sign up online, nothing gets installed at your home, and credits appear on your existing bill.
Aurora households on LIHEAP, SNAP, Medicaid, or SSI: your savings double.
Illinois households receiving government assistance may qualify for the boosted rate — up to 20% of credit value kept as savings, verified during enrollment. Renters qualify too.

Is this a government program?
The savings come through Illinois' state-supported clean energy programs, but enrollment is with Ampion Renewable Energy, a public benefit corporation — not a government agency. Your ComEd service stays exactly the same.
Does it cost anything to join?
No sign-up fees, deposits, equipment, or installation costs. Nothing is installed at your home and there's nothing to buy.
How much can I save on my ComEd bill?
Most households keep 10% of their monthly credit value as savings. If you receive assistance — LIHEAP, SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, or similar — you may qualify for up to 20%. Eligibility is verified during enrollment.
I rent in Aurora. Can I still join?
Yes. Your share lives at a solar farm, not your building, so renters qualify the same as homeowners — no landlord involvement needed.
Will my lights or service change?
No. Same ComEd delivery, same wires, same reliability. The only change is credits appearing on your bill.
Grab your ComEd bill. Keep more of it.
Enrollment takes about 5 minutes with a copy of your bill.
