en.Wedoany.com Reported - Apex Clean Energy has completed the sale of a portfolio of community solar projects located in Illinois, USA, to SolAmerica Energy, with a total capacity of 28MW. The transaction covers multiple facilities, expanding SolAmerica's footprint in one of the fastest-growing community solar markets in the United States. These projects are being developed under Illinois' community solar framework, which allows households, businesses, and organizations to subscribe to a share of each facility's generation and receive bill credits based on actual electricity output.

Apex stated that this transaction aligns with its strategy of developing projects before transferring ownership to long-term operators. SolAmerica will oversee project construction and bring them into operation, expected to provide renewable energy to thousands of subscribers. Customers in the affected communities will gain access to additional subscription capacity, enabling more households, businesses, and nonprofits to opt into community solar, receiving bill credits based on the electricity generated by their share of the project, thereby partially offsetting utility costs without the need for rooftop installations. This sale helps add new facilities in a rapidly expanding market, improving project availability and choice. By transferring projects to entities focused on long-term operations, subscribers benefit from operational continuity, with a dedicated organization responsible for maintaining assets and managing user participation. As facilities gradually enter the operational phase, more customers are expected to join community solar offerings. Community solar is particularly important for renters, homeowners with unsuitable rooftops, and customers who wish to use renewable energy but do not want to install equipment on their premises. Expanding the pipeline from developers to operators supports Illinois' clean energy and emission reduction goals, providing subscribers with more stable long-term access to renewable electricity. If SolAmerica establishes a local customer-facing and operational management system, subscribers may experience streamlined enrollment, account management, and service processes over the project lifecycle.
