**Sign the petition: Show your support for community solar ASAP**
From the Coalition Named “West Virginians for Energy Freedom”
You can join with fellow West Virginians in support of allowing community solar in our State of West Virginia. Community solar will rein in energy costs, create jobs, and promote energy freedom.
Community solar projects enable individuals, businesses, or organizations to purchase or subscribe to a “share” in a community solar project. Community solar participants receive a credit on their electric bill each month for the energy produced by their share.
And, community solar ensures we have the right to choose where our electricity comes from.
Also, **community solar** has the power to save West Virginia families millions of dollars per year through lower electric bills.
It does so while encouraging local economic development throughout the State. This creates good jobs and attracts more employers to invest in West Virginia.
**Let’s face it, community solar is a free-market way to generate electricity. Let’s secure energy freedom for West Virginia families now, i. e., as soon as possible.**
