2020-Net-Metering-Fa
HELP WYOMING SAVE ROOFTOP SOLAR (AGAIN!) Public comment needed to kill upcoming draft bill on net metering BACKGROUND Net metering is a policy that allows owners of small, on-site renewable energy systems (homes, schools, and businesses) to get credit for the extra power they supply to the electricity grid. For example, when a homeowner’s rooftop solar panels generate more power than what is needed on sunny days, the excess electricity is sent to the grid and can be used by neighbors. Net metering allows the owners of the solar array to get credit for this extra energy supplied to the grid, which they can use later in the year, covering the cost of future electricity needs. Currently, Wyoming law only allows small residential-sized systems — 25 kilowatts or less — to be eligible for net metering credit. The Wyoming State Legislature’s Interim Corporations, Elections & Political Subdivisions Committee is considering a bill that would dramatically overhaul the existing net metering statute governing rooftop solar and other distributed energy sources. The bill contains amendments to existing net metering law that will make small scale renewable systems much less affordable for Wyomingites by reducing the amount they are paid for 1 the energy these systems produce. T o be clear, altering the viability of net metering means killing businesses like rooftop solar companies in Wyoming by eliminating important financial incentives and adding considerable economic uncertainty for existing and future net-metered customers. Additionally, if this bill were to pass, it would make net metering optional and give utilities the ability to set unfavorable terms for those with net-metered facilities.
