Accelerate Climate Solutions is an approved Illinois Shines Designee, providing marketing, sales, and solar subscriber sign-up for Green Energy Justice Cooperative (GEJC.org). GEJC, an Illinois Shines Approved Vendor, is a community-driven community solar cooperative serving DuPage County ComEd customers. The two solar arrays on warehouses in Aurora will supply electricity to 800 households in DuPage. Low and moderate income families can sign-up with a one-time fee of just $5 and see a guaranteed savings of 20% on their energy charge on their ComEd bill over the course of a year. The membership fee for all other households is just $25; these members will never pay more for electricity than they would with ComEd, with a goal of also saving up to 20% on the energy charge. To get started, visit GEJC.org and click the “Am I Eligible?” button. After that, you’ll need to provide a copy of your ComEd bill, sign a couple of documents, and then start saving in early 2026. Whether you’re a renter, live in a condo, or own your home, if you live in DuPage and pay a ComEd bill, you qualify.
