Short opening today, long day of meetings and jet lag are getting the best of me.
See You Tonight? Make sure you say hello tonight at Vote Solar’s Equinox in San Francisco. This is a great event to celebrate solar and those that fight on the front lines of the regulatory battles for us all. It is not too late to buy your ticket to the event and toast our industry.
Going For 100. Last year, California’s legislators got close to passing a 100% RPS. This year it could actually happen. 27 organizations including Vote Solar have banded together to push for the legislation to become law. Read Frank’s coverage here and look forward to more commentary as discussions begin.
Southeast Solar. The top story yesterday was the headline of more solar in the Southeast. This is the reminder that Florida has massive capacity growth with essentially no market. Only the IOUs are building substantial capacity and ratepayers are footing this bill with no transparency on how much it would cost if this was a competitive process instead of utility owned.
