LPC provides electricity through the Platte River Power Authority system. Net metering is 1:1 at retail rate, with excess credits carrying forward month-to-month. Year-end excess is credited at the RGEN retail energy rate. Systems are limited to 50 kW maximum capacity for RGEN eligibility. Current average rates are approximately $0.13–0.14/kWh — among the lowest on the Front Range, though a 6.8% increase has been proposed.

Apollo understands Longmont’s unique municipal utility structure and designs systems specifically for LPC’s net metering program. We help homeowners take advantage of Longmont’s favorable rate structure while contributing to the city’s 100% renewable goal.
Longmont handles solar permitting through its municipal process. LPC requires specific interconnection documentation. Apollo manages the full process from application through Permission to Operate.
While Longmont’s municipal utility provides more reliable service than some larger providers, battery storage still makes sense for outage protection and for supporting LPC’s grid during peak demand. As the city pushes toward 100% renewable, distributed battery storage plays an increasingly important role in grid stability.
Key incentives include: Longmont Power & Communications 1:1 net metering at retail rate; Rates 29% below Colorado state average (lower starting cost to offset); Colorado sales and property tax exemptions; Municipal utility committed to 100% renewable by 2030.
Lower rates mean each net metering credit is worth slightly less, but Longmont’s rates are still high enough to make solar a strong investment — especially with proposed increases. The combination of excellent sun, net metering, and tax exemptions delivers solid returns.
LPC is Longmont’s city-owned electric utility, providing electricity independently of Xcel Energy. Municipal ownership means the community controls rate policy and renewable energy goals — and Longmont has committed to 100% renewable electricity by 2030.
Longmont handles solar permitting through its own municipal process, separate from Xcel. LPC requires specific interconnection documentation. Apollo manages the entire process from application through Permission to Operate, so you don’t have to navigate the municipal paperwork yourself.
Apollo Energy proudly serves homeowners and businesses as the leading solar company in Longmont, CO. Whether you’re looking for residential solar panels, battery storage, or commercial solar solutions, we’re here to help you transition to solar energy.
