The Commission declined to grant an enforcement action petition against state regulators that allowed Alabama Power to institute a punitive solar charge, instead allowing the petitioners to take the fight into their own hands in court.

Here are three tools to help you navigate the sometimes-complex array of state incentives for your rooftop solar project.

The city of Green Cove Springs, Florida, has passed an ordinance to halve its net metering credit, a move that renewable advocates are concerned will spread to other towns.

Also on the rise: An anti-solar bill fails a California Assembly vote, meet our new Associate Editor, a green hydrogen project gets more investment, and a blue hydrogen venture could come to a troubled synfuels plant.

Assembly Bill 1139 underwent major revision, but that doesn’t mean the bill has been entirely declawed.

The utility’s proposal is being introduced to support a statewide goal of having 80,000 zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2025.

New rules “effectively gut” the only federal policy requiring utilities to buy renewable energy, the lawsuit says, arguing that FERC’s rulemaking exceeded its authority and conflicts with Congress’s goals.

The bill would significantly cut net metering rates paid to rooftop solar customers, and also revise long-term rates and other protections that were promised to existing rooftop solar customers.

Horse trading was needed to reverse an earlier vote that rejected a package of clean energy goals. The new goal goes back into the rulemaking process and a final vote.

Data show that the U.S. has more than 750 GWac of electricity generation capacity in interconnection queues, with 90% of that clean energy-related. But how much actually will be built?
