NY PSC staff released a report recommending a transition to a compensation scheme that provides more accurate values for distributed energy resources (DER).

PJM is considering giving demand response participants injection rights in its effort to expand distributed energy resources’ access to wholesale markets.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities rejected fees National Grid sought to impose on small DER-owning commercial and industrial customers.

How to characterize net metering for rooftop solar power was the subject of a debate at the Energy Bar Association’s (EBA) Mid-Year Energy Forum last week.

The Maine PUC proposed a 15-year phase-out of net metering for current rooftop solar systems and a 10-year limit for new systems.

Present and former regulators debated the costs and benefits of rooftop solar and the pros and cons of net metering at the NARUC Summer Meetings.

New York utilities and three solar companies proposed a business model that they said would replace net metering and address cost-shifting concerns.

Massachusetts lawmakers approved a compromise bill that raises the net metering cap for solar energy systems.

New York utilities challenged an order by regulators to temporarily remove the 6% cap on net metered solar-powered systems.

The New York PSC temporarily lifted caps on the amount of net-metered solar energy that can be permitted on a utility system.
