Hotly debated solar energy rules changes move forward in Legislature
In this mention
Florida lawmakers advanced HB 741, a controversial bill that would change net metering rules for rooftop solar systems. George Cavros, an attorney for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, disputed claims that solar customers are subsidizing non-solar ratepayers, calling the argument "utter nonsense." The bill would shift credits from retail rates to "full avoided cost" rates, potentially reducing financial incentives for homeowners to install solar systems.
It's predicated on the myth that solar customers in Florida right now are raising bills on (non-solar) Florida customers, and I can tell you that's nonsense. It's utter nonsense.
