Sunnova Announces Fixed Discount for Solar to Combat Utility Rate Volatility

Sunnova Energy International Inc. ("Sunnova") (NYSE: NOVA), one of the leading U.S. residential energy service providers, announced today it will be launching an energy plan that will offer new customers a fixed percentage discount to prevailing utility prices and a 25-year market-based rate, all to offer price confidence to consumers regardless of volatile energy costs.

“For the first time, homeowners will be able to lock in a fixed discount to their local utilities’ electricity rates and charges for a full 25 years,” said Michael Grasso, EVP, Chief Marketing and Growth Officer. “When customers select this new energy plan, Sunnova will set the rate for solar energy at a fixed discount to the local utility’s price, then each year we will confirm or adjust the customer’s pricing to account for any changes. This is another great option from Sunnova that offers consumers the best and most flexible set of services for their individual energy needs.”

The market-based rate will be a new solar rate option within Sunnova’s Easy Plan™ Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Unlike traditional solar plans, where a customer’s rate is set at contract and often escalates annually, the market-based solar rate will move with the market. Sunnova will monitor utility prices (which include taxes and other charges), and on an annual basis proactively adjust its customers’ pricing to the targeted discount percentage rate for that year. While the discount percentage will vary by market and utility, Sunnova customers selecting this plan will receive the same discount percentage vs. their local utilities’ prices over the life of the contract. This will enable customers to produce clean, reliable energy right from their rooftop while also paying a lower price than the utility’s, with confidence that their annual price is being adjusted to help them avoid volatility in the market.

This new product launch will further Sunnova’s portfolio of offerings that allow customers to take control of their home energy costs by going solar. Sunnova leads the industry in energy services and Sunnova’s Easy Plan PPA allows customers to buy down their PPA rate to reduce their bill up to one hundred percent, choose between monthly generational or levelized billing and will now allow Sunnova customers to get a specified discount from their local utility prices for the full 25 years of their energy service agreement.
