FERC Rules No Jurisdiction Over On-Site Solar
Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industry Association, says “the decision of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 other words, solar companies doe not have to be under the same regulatory system as utilities. The effect of the order is to remove the flood of paperwork needed to certify for wholesale or retail operation of solar installations.
