Lower your National Grid bill in Troy. For real.
Households across Troy on National Grid can get monthly credits on their electric bill through New York's state-supported clean energy program. You keep 5% of the credit value — up to 20% if you receive assistance. No panels, no fees, no equipment, and renters qualify too.

Fair question. There isn't one — here's how it works for Troy households, in plain English.
Where the discount comes from
New York supports solar farms across the state that 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 National Grid bill every month.
What changes for you
Honestly? Just the total. Same National Grid service, same wires, same reliability. No panels, no home visits, no equipment. You keep 5% 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 solar programs across the country since the state programs opened up. You sign up online, nothing gets installed at your home, and credits appear on your existing bill.
Troy households on LIHEAP or other assistance: your savings jump to 20%.
New York 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 New York's state-supported clean energy programs, but enrollment is with Ampion Renewable Energy, a public benefit corporation — not a government agency. Your National Grid 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 National Grid bill?
Most households keep 5% of their monthly credit value as savings. If you receive assistance — LIHEAP, SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, TANF, ACP (Affordability Connectivity Program), Federal Public Housing Assistance, Lifeline, or Veterans Pension — you may qualify for up to 20%. Eligibility is verified during enrollment.
I rent in Troy. 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 National Grid delivery, same wires, same reliability. The only change is credits appearing on your bill.
