Hey EnergyHeads™️ - what’s a 100% Windsource customer to do here? Just roll over into Xcel’s Renewable*Connect Flex program or the Legacy option? (Coincidentally I’m getting solar installed today so hopefully I will pay little/nothing for grid power.)

@Dbrauer The RenewableConnect Legacy program sounds similar to a Community Solar Program where you're paying for shares of an actual solar farm somewhere on the Xcel grid (https://ilsr.org/minnesotas-community-solar-program/) while the Flex program seems more like a continuation of the existing program. The Legacy thing wants you to buy blocks of 100kWh, which might be more than you'll need cuz of your rooftop solar? It seems like they credit you for fuel surcharges, though, which might make it worthwhile...
Minnesota’s Community Solar Program

10 years after Minnesota enabled community solar, a 2023 policy has expanded the program. It also introduced new rules and limitations. This post explains the policy and compiles additional Minnesota community solar resources.
