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. -

Second Alert
SECOND ALERT – HB0079, Recall of elected officials-commission run municipalities, overwhelmingly passed Introduction last Wednesday (Feb 10, 2016) with 44 Aye/Yes votes, 8 Nay/No votes, and 8 Excused. Wyoming Citizens need to understand how crucial it is to kill this bill and act on it THIS WEEKEND! As usual, there is a lot of in-depth info behind the bill and it is challenging to encapsulate it in a short summary. This is our best attempt to do just that – by giving you the short story as well as the longer story for those who prefer to know the necessary details. Whether you choose to read the short story, the long story, or both – please be sure to read page 4 on how to proactively move forward to KILL HB0079. AT A GLANCE - NEED TO KNOW INFO ABOUT HB0079 The bill wants to eliminate the ONLY recall law that exists in the state of Wyoming. That law is §15-4-110. The recall law likely EFFECTS OVER 79,000 WYOMING CITIZENS who reside in Wyoming Charter Cities and Towns – namely Gillette, Green River, Jackson, Cody, Douglas, Powell and Afton Eliminating the recall law indirectly effects ALL Wyoming Citizens HB0079 likely violates Article 3, Section 27 of our WY State Constitution (Special and local laws prohibited) Unless the bill sponsors have the conviction and courage to pull this bill, it is isn’t likely to be killed in committee because 3 of the sponsors serve on the (Corporations) committee who will vote on it If HB0079 passes to the Senate, recall in WY will likely end for an unknown and extended amount of time The Short Story What we have heard: The bills primary sponsor, Tyler Lindholm (R) (House District 1, Crook/Weston County) originally wanted to offer a resolution for a WY State Constitutional Amendment to create recall capability for citizens for every level of government. -
