net metering

Residential solar installations in California since the introduction of the NEM 3.0 have been roughly equal to the amount in the prior year.

PV Tech Premium spoke with analysts about the rejection of phasing out the net metering scheme and the subsidy for manufacturing modules and batteries.

A bill was vetoed by the Dutch Senate to gradually phase out the netting scheme to zero from 1 January 2025 to 1 January 2031.

The Idaho Public Utilities Commission (PUC) voted late last year (29th December) to shift from a net metering to a net billing model for residential solar installations in a move which will make rooftop solar “unreachable” for most.

A coalition of School Board representatives, healthcare advocates and “climate leaders” in the North Bay area of California has spoken out against the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) proposal to alter the virtual net energy metering scheme (VNEM) in the state.

NEM 3.0, the latest iteration of California’s rooftop solar net metering scheme, was passed yesterday by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Vocal public debate surrounded the legislation before the vote as solar industry workers and representative bodies called for revisions to the proposed decision.

On 15 December, the California Public Utilities Commission will vote on the latest net energy meeting (NEM) proposal regarding the state’s rooftop solar market. Ahead of the vote, activists have taken to the streets in a series of demonstrations against the legislation, and the California Solar and Storage Association (CALSSA) and other representative groups have been vocal in their criticism of the proposal.

The Californian Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a proposal yesterday to alter its Net Energy Metering (NEM) tariff to encourage domestic battery storage systems alongside distributed rooftop solar. The new proposal reversed some of the measures in the poorly-received NEM 3.0 programme.

California’s Solar Access Act (SAA) has passed the state’s Senate, clearing its final legislative hurdle, and will now be sent to Governor Gavin Newsom to be signed into law.
