Thank you for your patience.
We believe in the promise of clean energy and are committed to help lead that transition to a brighter future. By generating more energy from renewable resources, deploying new technologies and modernizing the grid to achieve a low- to no-carbon future, we are at the forefront of this transformation.
Residential or commercial customers can also choose to produce their own private renewable energy using solar panels or wind turbines. Sign up for CreateGreen.
If these systems produce more energy than is needed, the extra energy can be added to our grid.
The installation of the system is at the customer’s expense. However, each billing period, the power you use from us is offset by the power you send back to us. Through a credit, you will be billed the difference between these two amounts.
If you’re installing permanent electric generating equipment such as solar or wind, or if you are installing energy storage technology, state regulations require all eligible distributed generation facilities operating in parallel with I&M’s system to be reviewed and approved prior to installation.

Energy Saving Tips
Installing solar panels can reduce your impact on the environment and potentially your electricity cost. There's a lot to think about when determining if solar panels are a good option for you.
Before you make a decision, consider some of the facts and read our helpful guide.
Typically, solar panels supplement your electric service and cannot operate independently of the electric grid unless it's specifically designed to provide back-up power. For safety, most solar panels shut-off during an outage, so they may not power your home during a service disruption. Also, you'll need to connect to the electricity grid to be compensated for the excess energy your panels produce.
