The utility commission issued a final ruling today that mandates the purchase of customer SRECs to satisfy state solar requirements. I am now working with legal counsel to ensure the implementation process strictly follows these new guidelines.

I support customer sited solar power. My utility provider does not speak for me when they say all I want is the cheapest rate, regardless of the environmental and economic consequences.

My utility should meet their legislated solar requirements by using the customer-sited solar systems already located in their service territory BEFORE building their own utility scale system. They cannot be allowed to continue to let people who have invested in clean renewable energy to twist in the wind while they line their own pockets.

My utility should have to fill these solar requirements with a mix of residential and commercial solar systems, owned by customers and installed on customers’ sites. They should not be allowed to just build utility scale systems for their own profit.

As a customer, I should be able to choose to install my own solar power system and have my utility buy my SRECs as part of satisfying their legal requirements. I should not have to pay my utility to construct their own solar system and then be required to continue to pay them for the power it produces forever.

I believe that growth in Delaware’s solar industry is important to our state’s health, environment, and economic development. In order to meet these goals it is important that all utilities participate in a fair and equitable manner. Utilities should not overlook the needs of their own rate payers or member owners, by reducing a customer’s ability to directly benefit from their own investments in renewable energy.

Please vote yes on Senate Bill 263 with Senate amendment 1.

We are approaching the one hundred signature mark which serves as the threshold required for our initial meeting request with the utility commission. Please circulate this link to contacts in the utility service territory to ensure we reach that benchmark by the end of the week.

I put solar on my home to help the planet and save money. The utility makes it impossible to get any return. Very frustrating.

Ridiculous that they just want to build their own farms to keep the money for themselves. Let us play fair.

Greedy. That is all this is. Stop building your own stuff and buy from the people already doing the work.
