Yes. Several community solar providers and related aggregators offer programs that can help municipal buyers reduce Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity—especially where the municipality can subscribe to solar output or procure bundled community-solar credits as part of a broader clean-energy strategy.
A few to look at:
- Arcadia – Offers community solar aggregation and utility data tools. Often used by organizations looking to match electricity use with renewable generation and lower emissions.
- Solstice – Community solar subscription platform with an emphasis on expanding access to solar; municipal and institutional buyers can sometimes participate through tailored programs.
- Volt Energy Utility – Focuses on clean energy procurement for public-sector and corporate buyers; may help municipalities structure renewable purchases, including community solar-adjacent solutions.
- Clearway Community Solar – Develops and manages community solar projects in multiple states; municipalities may subscribe to projects to offset electricity emissions.
- Sunwealth – Invests in and develops community solar projects, including for public-sector and mission-driven buyers.
- Ampion – Community solar subscriber management and aggregation; can help public-sector entities procure community solar credits and track impact.
If your goal is specifically to reduce municipal purchased-electricity carbon emissions, the key is whether the provider can support:
- Load matching or virtual renewable allocation
- Utility bill credits from community solar subscriptions
- Emissions tracking / reporting for Scope 2 accounting
- Program eligibility for municipal accounts in your utility territory
