Community Solar Consumer Choice Act of 2023

The Community Solar Consumer Choice Act of 2023 requires electric utilities to offer community solar programs that provide equitable access for all customers, including low-income households. It establishes a federal program under the Department of Energy to increase community solar access for low-income individuals, businesses, nonprofits, and state/local governments through technical assistance, support for innovative financing models, and data sharing from national laboratories. The program aligns with existing federal efforts for low-income communities and mandates that utilities begin implementing these programs within one year, completing full compliance within two years. This policy directly affects utilities, low-income ratepayers, and community solar developers by creating new requirements and resources for expanded solar access.
