Breaking : Government Ruling a “Major Victory” for Solar | Solar Feeds News And Commentary Network

Breaking : Government Ruling a “Major Victory” for Solar | Solar Feeds News And Commentary Network: "Solar-proponents today hailed as a “major victory” a decision by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that on-site solar generating projects (rooftop panels for example) owned by a third party are not subject to regulatory oversight by FERC.

Rhone Resch, CEO of the industry trade group, Solar Energy Industries Association, said that: “Recognizing that FERC does not have jurisdiction over on-site solar generating projects removes a great cloud of uncertainty about the role of third-party solar system owners and paves the way for greater, more cost-effective, solar deployments. In short, this decision allows solar companies to be just that – companies creating jobs and deploying more solar – and not have to be under the same regulatory system as utilities.”"
