Comment by Dan Erskine on January 29, 2009 at 5:38am Currently the regulations that guide utility companies in allowing customers to interconnect their private alternative energy systems with the grid are established by the individual states, they are erratic across our country with some states being generous in requiring utilities to allow interconnectivity and in other states the requirement does not exist.
The federal government has established generous tax incentives to foster alternative energy growth, but those incentives will not be effective in an area where the utility is not required to allow interconnectivity. A federal regulation requiring utilities to allow a minimum of 5% of households to interconnect to the grid should be established.
The regulation should also require utilities to pay for any excess power produced by these customer alternative energy systems at the current wholesale rate, which would be a further incentive for private citizens to have these systems installed.
Such regulations would encourage additional job growth in both the installation and manufacturing fields across our country.
A great site I ran across the other day True Lobby Sign up and you can keep track of Washington state legislation and contact your state reps through the site.
And my other site Solar Cynosure a site dedicated to proactive solar advocates, come see!
Thanks
Dan
