Duke announces a $500million rate base solar investment. It appears that that is comprised of 178MW of self owned and another 150MW of PPAs with project owners. This seems like a decent compromise for solar developers and building owners and an overall win for solar. The key is that most of these projects will be central solar farms, where utilities are comfortable with ownership whereas that line gets blurrier when the solar capacity is distributed.
