Municipal utilities set their own rates and run their own incentive programs. Find solar rebates, net metering terms, heat pump incentives, and more for 72 municipal utilities across 9 states.
Municipal utilities operate outside the investor-owned utility system. This means different rates, different incentives, and different rules for solar and clean energy.
Municipal utilities typically charge 10-20% less than investor-owned utilities. No shareholders, no profit motive — just community service.
Many municipal utilities offer solar rebates ($0.25–$1.00/watt), heat pump rebates, and EV charger incentives independent of statewide programs.
Rates and policies are set by locally elected officials. Net metering, interconnection, and rebate programs are decided at the community level.
