By Adam Browning | Vote Solar dissects an anti-solar filing from the IOUs’ industry group.
The Edison Electric Institute, the trade association representing U.S. investor-owned utilities, is at it again. Over the past year, this monopoly of monopolies has been working overtime — taking extraordinary, unprecedented actions — to rid the world of the scourge of people generating their own power with solar.
The latest: on February 18, EEI filed official comments (PDF) with regulators in Arizona on the subject of valuing distributed generation renewables, including rooftop solar.
It’s a remarkable document. EEI wants a fair and balanced evaluation of distributed renewable generation which specifically excludes both the distributed and the renewable values.
