2022-02-02 Court Rules Against Utility’s Billing For Solar Panels

This is in Indiana in Indiana courts. But it may set precedent for future rulings in other state or federal courts. Consumers with rooftop solar are getting fed up with the utilities changing or removing the pay that they’re getting for selling solar power back to the utility.

The court needs to make a rule that encourages utilities to generate more renewable electricity. For example the utility is charging rooftop solar customers $20 to be connected to the grid. If the utility has 20% of its total electric generation coming from renewables, then it would be allowed to charge that customer 20% or 1/5 of $20, which is $4.00. As the utility’s percentage of renewables increases, the utility would be allowed to increase their percentage of the $20 monthly charge. This incentive program should get the utilities to take action to convert to renewables.
