Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) When will the freEner-g Pilot Project start and how long will it last?
• The freEner-g Pilot Project, partly funded by customers of Xcel Energy through a $1.5M grant from the Renewable Development Fund, is launched in two phases: a Solar Assessment phase, which started August 2008, and a Solar Installation phase, which started November 2009. • The freEner-g Pilot Project will end in the fall of 2010, which is the time it will take freEner-g to install the 30-40 or so solar systems. To be exact, freEner-g will deliver 280 KW of installed solar capacity, which translates roughly to 30-40 homes and small businesses, depending on the number of panels that each homeowner and/or business owner selects. • Once the systems are installed, freEner-g will continue to operate and maintain the solar systems beyond the 15 months of the Pilot Project. In addition, freEner-g will continue to grow and add more customers after that. In summary, the freEner-g Pilot Project is just the beginning!
