New York A7557A fixes some of it’s net metering law
30 Jul 10 | Solar Electric, Wind PowerNew York legislature has fixed at least one issue with the net metering law (PSL 66) with A7557A, which was signed by the Governor last March. The law took effect yesterday. Here are some of the issues addressed:
- Removed the requirement that solar generating equipment not exceed customer’s peak load.
- Removed the requirement that wind generating equipment not exceed customer’s peak load.
- Make certain provisions for commercial customers to pay for the installation of safety equipment
Increasing solar and wind generating capacities are a step in the right direction. If a customer has a resource that is available to be used to generate power for other electrical customers, there is no reason not to take advantage of it.
The utility companies buy this power at wholesale rates and sell it for retail to the next few customers down the line. Everyone wins.
