FortisTCI offers customers a smart, zero-cost way to participate in the company’s renewable energy program.

The Utility Owned Renewable Energy Program (U.O.R.E.) offers qualifying customers the opportunity to partner with FortisTCI to lease their rooftop space for the generation of solar energy. The green energy generated from solar systems allow customers to gain attractive incentives, and helps us to diversify our energy mix, increase our green energy capacity and reduce energy costs overtime.

How the Program Works

Under our Utility Owned Renewable Energy Program, FortisTCI will lease your rooftop space for solar installation

  • FortisTCI buys, installs and maintains the solar system
  • The solar system will be connected to the FortisTCI grid, and roof-mounted.
  • Customers enter into a 20-year contract with FortisTCI.
  • Customers can purchase the photovoltaic system any time after installation.
  • Customers may exit the program, subject to an exit fee.
Size Requirements

The UORE program is open to residential, commercial, and industrial customers with maximum capacity installation limits, and is only available for roof-mounted systems.

Residential customers can install up to 10kW and commercial and industrial customers can install up to 500kW in solar energy systems.
