Paperless billing

Customers can enroll in paperless billing through LES' online payment portal, and we’re putting savings gained from printing less to support our efforts to create a greener Lincoln.

Renewable Energy Certificates

Renewable Energy Certificates, also known as RECs, were created to help customers prioritize the use of renewable energy resources. Mark your home or business’ energy use as 100% renewable for fractions of a penny on the kilowatt-hour.

COST: about $3/month (average Lincoln home)

Virtual Net Metering

Lease a solar panel from LES (half a panel at a time, as many as you want!). You get credit on your bill for your panel's energy production. After three years, your payments stop, but you continue getting credit for your solar panel through 2036.

COST: $7.95/month (36 months)

SunShares

You can support our community solar facility by participating in the SunShares program. SunShares is an easy and affordable way to promote renewable energy in our community.

COST: $3/month

Customer-owned generation

Take power into your own hands with customer-owned generation. Learn more about how to safely connect to the electric system and the multiple generation rates that LES offers.

Electric vehicles

Electric vehicles are typically better for the environment. But did you know they can impact the local electric grid too? That’s why LES is doing our part to prepare our grid to accommodate more EVs. Learn more about electric vehicles in Lincoln or support the transition to EVs.
