City of Urbana and Sunpower Corporation Awarded Crucial State Solar Incentive

Submitted by AmandaF on October 7, 2019 - 10:26am

Urbana, IL - The City of Urbana’s Solar partnership with Sunpower Corporation to develop a commercial solar array on top of the City’s closed landfill has received a crucial financial incentive from the State of Illinois’ Solar For All program. The program provides financial incentives for developers to build new solar energy facilities that supply electricity to low income qualified households.

The City completed a qualifications based selection for a landfill solar developer at the end of 2017 and entered into a lease option with Sunpower Corporation, a global solar energy manufacturer and installer, to develop a solar array on the City’s closed landfill. On August 22, 2019 the City/Sunpower project was selected for a Low Income Community Solar incentive by the Illinois Power Agency’s Solar For All program. This incentive makes a landfill solar development commercially viable at the City’s closed landfill. Sunpower will now make all preparations required of approved vendors in the Solar For All program. Additionally, the City will convert the lease option into a long term lease pursuant to the terms of the lease option.
