When you participate in Tampa Electric’s Renewable Energy program, you're joining others who support the use of cleaner renewable sources like the sun and biomass (plant materials) to produce electricity. Our program gives you the opportunity to purchase renewable energy in 200-kilowatt “block” units at $5 each per month. There is no limit to the number of blocks you can purchase. Learn more about the benefits of renewable energy and how your participation will produce a positive environmental impact – and check out Tampa Electric's solar panel installations installed throughout the community.
Solar water heater rebates are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis; existing installations do not qualify. To get started, complete and submit a reservation. After Tampa Electric receives your reservation, a representative will contact you to schedule a free Energy Audit. The audit, which provides energy-saving measures to help you reduce energy costs, is a required part of the rebate approval process.
Our new online solar calculator can help residential and business customers determine how much it will cost to install their own solar panel systems. The average residential solar installation is about 5 kilowatts (kW), while the average commercial PV system is about 25 kW in size. View the news release.
The one-time Renewable Energy purchase option is available for hosting an event at a convention center, hotel, stadium or any other location – even at your home. By using this option, you can power your events with energy produced from natural sources like the sun and biomass.
Both residential and business customers can participate. Residential customers can sign up online for as little as $5 per month added to your electric bill. Tampa Electric will create a customized package for business customers who wish to join our list of Power Partners. Learn more about becoming a Power Partner.
Customers can also sign up and learn more by calling 813-228-4848.
Customers who install a renwable energy system (up to 2MW) may qualify for interconnection to Tampa Electric’s power system. Tampa Electric will meter the system and provide credits for any excess electricity. Learn more about how to interconnect your renewable energy system.
