This is your SolarWakeup for August 25th, 2016

Last week I told you about the new report from Nevada, this time with different results. Today you can read and hear all about rate design, in some cases with some utility driven cosmetic surgery. I like SEIA’s straight forward talk about the report, not only because I agree, but also because solar really does help all consumers. Tom Kimbis is showing what SEIA can be for our industry by speaking out for what is right. After all, solar doesn’t shift cost, it simply shifts the need for utilities to build more power plants which makes them less money. Net metering is simple and rate design is there for utilities to make solar savings calculations complicated. In today’s podcast you will hear how the solar industry is working to make it simpler for savings to be shown to consumers. Our industry is aligned on this. Complicated rate design is another attempt to stop the progress we have made.
