Florida utilities want to gut solar. Here’s why
In this mention
Florida utilities are pushing to eliminate or severely restrict net metering policies that allow solar homeowners to sell excess electricity back to the grid. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy argues that rooftop solar provides system benefits and economic advantages, but utilities claim they lose profits under net metering. A Florida Public Service Commission workshop scheduled for September 17, 2020 could lead to rule changes that would hinder solar adoption in one of the nation's sunniest states.
Rooftop solar power provides benefits to the utility's system that can lower power bills for everyone, such as reducing the fuel burned by the utility to generate its own power and transmission and distribution (grid) benefits. Plus it drives economic development and jobs while making our communities cleaner and more resilient to weather events.
