We stood up for solar rights — and we won!

Green Energy Times Posted on July 17, 2020 by George HarveyJuly 17, 2020

Join us for a free webinar.

Together, we stood up for solar rights — and we won! Thank you!

You spoke and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) listened. Today, FERC unanimously dismissed a petition to end net metering.

Anti-solar interests tried to deny solar owners fair compensation for the solar they produce.

But they had to go through us, and we won.

The New England Ratepayers Association (NERA) is a secretive utility front-group. Earlier this spring, it asked FERC to take away states’ power to administer net metering.

If NERA had gotten its way, utilities would be able to credit solar owners at a rate lower than what they deserve. More than 56,000 individuals wrote to FERC, asking them to protect our solar rights.

This shows that solar supporters like you have power. We can accomplish big wins when we join together!

Now, join us to keep this momentum going!

We’re hosting a free webinar next week to share how solar supporters like you can help secure more victories just like this one.
