FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DOES JOE-4-SUN REPLACE MY UTILITY COMPANY?
No, JOE-4-SUN is not a utility company or energy supplier. You will continue to receive an electric bill from your utility as usual. JOE-4-SUN is a low-income community solar program that works with your utility to reduce your total balance due by applying credits to your electric bill.
HOW DOES JOE-4-SUN HELP ME?
JOE-4-SUN will save you about 20% per year on electricity and connect you to the green energy revolution. You will receive discounted bill credits on your utility bill, which are generated by clean, renewable energy at our solar farms. JOE-4-SUN provides all the benefits of solar energy without the hassle of rooftop panels
HOW DOES JOE-4-SUN SAVE ME MONEY?
As a JOE-4-SUN subscriber, you earn bill credits from the energy produced by our solar projects. Every unit of electricity we produce is assigned a dollar value by the utility, and that total dollar amount is given to our local subscribers as bill credits that lower their utility bills. These credits reduce what you owe to your energy company each month.
WILL MY CREDITS BE THE SAME EVERY MONTH?
The value of the credits you receive each month will vary based on the weather and solar production. You can expect a higher credit value in the summer when we produce more solar power and a lower value in the winter, but the total annual savings you see will be about 20% of your annual cost of electricity.
ARE THERE MONTHLY FEES OR OTHER CHARGES?
No. There is no subscription fee, startup fee, or termination fee for JOE-4-SUN.
WHEN WILL I SEE CREDITS ON MY BILL?
NYSEG: We are currently running a waitlist of about four to six months for our NYSEG project.
National Grid: Our National Grid project will begin generating credits in June 2024, and we will begin accepting applications for the project in early Spring 2024. If you have questions about this project, please contact us.
HOW LONG WILL I BE IN THE PROGRAM?
After you are accepted into JOE-4-SUN, you are guaranteed to receive at least 36 months of discount bill credits through the program.
You can cancel your subscription at anytime and at no cost- just tell us at least 90 days in advance to account for communication with your utility and processing time.
IS THIS THE SAME AS JOE-4-OIL?
No. Citizens Energy has transitioned to providing assistance through the use of renewable energy, like solar power.
