Go solar without installing a single panel.
Our 513-panel, 125 kW solar farm in Woodward produces clean energy for the co-op. Buy shares, earn credits on your account, and support renewable energy in Northwest Oklahoma.
Renewable energy, without the rooftop.
Community solar is a simple, affordable way to get renewable energy without installing or maintaining your own array. Participation is voluntary and open to metered residential members who sign a program agreement with the cooperative.
How it works
Three simple steps from sunshine to savings.
Choose your shares
Pick a 10, 15, or 20 year program and buy between 1 and 25 shares.
Enroll with NWEC

Earn account credits
Each share entitles you to 0.2667% of the farm's monthly production, and credits are applied based on your share ownership.
Share prices
The longer your program, the longer your credits keep coming.
10-Year Program
A great way to try community solar.
15-Year Program
A balanced choice for steady credits.
20-Year Program
Our longest option for long-term support.
Each share starts with an initial credit of $28 per year. For example, one 10-year share costs $150 and earns $280 in credits over 10 years, a net savings of $130.
