Beat the Cold and Spiking Bills: Go Solar Before LIPA's 2024 Rate Changes
This week's bitterly cold temperatures are leading many Long Island households to crank up the heat and face mounting utility bills just to stay warm. The extreme weather is also straining energy infrastructure, with officials calling for conservation.
The situation may worsen in coming winters, with climate change expected to bring increased weather volatility. Schedule to begin in 2024, LIPA will implement higher peak rates from 3-7 p.m. on weekdays - when energy use spikes as families return home.
Rather than budgeting for unpredictable winter demand surges and utility rate hikes year after year, now is the time to take control by going solar. Rooftop solar panels can supply your home with clean, renewable power to offset the higher-cost electricity from the grid.

Investing in solar and batteries means establishing long-term stability and savings for your household energy supply - avoiding volatile utility rate changes. And with the extreme cold showing infrastructure weaknesses, having your own dependable power source is wise preparation.
