Protect Yourself from Rising Electricity Costs
The more you pay for electricity – the more you benefit by going solar.
Choosing solar energy allows you to save money by avoiding these high electricity rates.
The Yukon Energy Board raised all rates by 20% for the year 2024.
With energy prices expected to rise even more, going solar protects you from increasing costs by generating your own power.
Net Metering Program
How Net Metering Works in Yukon
Your solar system will connect to the grid via the Net-Metering program. Excess energy you produce is saved in credits by your power company at the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months.
In Yukon, with Time-of-Use billing, On-Peak hours coincide with peak solar generation times, earning you credits at higher On-Peak rates.
Net Metering in Yukon makes it simple for a home solar installation to cover your bills year-round.
