Concord, NH– Today, the Senate approved HB 1116, which allows continued solar investment through net metering while improving ratepayer protections.
“I support the net metering cap increase that passed in the Senate today because it strikes an important balance between allowing continued renewable energy development while also enabling the Public Utilities Commission to set a net metering rate that better protects electric customers,” said Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro).
“Net Metering is important for solar development and solar industry jobs in New Hampshire, but with some of the highest electric rates in the country, the Public Utilities Commission will be able to implement protections for electric customers by setting lower rates than the rates paid to net metering customers today.”
