Can I have a 40% interest in <br />one garden per political subdivision? <br />The likely answer is yes. Government entities have specific statutes that define them differently than <br />regular “corporations”. Some cities have different political subdivisions and have legal entities such as <br />City X Fire Department and City X Libraries. Each subdivision can have a 40% interest. In order to <br />determine if you are a political subdivision or agency, we provide guidance in the linked document. <br /> How can I determine if there is a “joint or common” interest between two legal entities? <br />o If you can accurately state “yes” to all of the following, then there is no “joint or <br />common” interest and each legal entity would be its own subscriber. You can confirm: <br />o There is no partnership or joint venture between them? <br />o They have not united together for the same purpose? <br />o There is no common owner between them? <br />o They are not part of the same corporate family – not affiliates, corporate subunits, nor <br />otherwise related companies? <br />o They are independent companies? <br /> <br /> Do different legal names and Federal Tax ID number constitute a different subscriber? <br />Not necessarily. Having a different legal name and/or a different Federal Tax ID does not by <br />itself show that these are not the same subscriber. <br /> <br /> As an elementary school, our bills are paid by the district. Who is the “retail customer”? <br />Generally speaking, elementary schools and high schools in the same district are considered one <br />legal entity and therefore together could not have more than a 40% interest in one garden. <br /> <br /> <br />What should I do if I still have questions? <br />Most customers should have very little difficulty determining their eligibility. But if you are unsure of <br />your legal structure, we recommend you discuss this option with your legal representative and then <br />contact srcmn@xcelenergy.com to help determine your eligibility for Solar*Rewards Community. <br /> <br />
