Florida passes net metering bill that will gut rooftop solar, advocates say, as they call for a veto

In this mention

The Florida Senate passed a controversial net metering bill (SB 1024/HB 741) that would reduce credits for rooftop solar exports and impose fixed charges on net metering customers, effectively gutting the distributed solar market according to clean energy advocates. SACE executive director Stephen Smith criticized the legislature for accepting utility arguments without independent analysis, while solar advocates called on Governor DeSantis to veto the legislation. The bill, drafted by NextEra Energy-owned FPL, would redirect hundreds of millions in costs from non-solar customers to solar adopters.
