Apr. 22: Net Metering Hearing |

Help Support Renewable Energy in South
Carolina
Currently, South Carolina is one of only eight states
without a Net Metering law. Net Metering credits owners of renewable
energy systems for the power they generate.
The income
generated by selling excess renewable energy back to the grid makes it
more economical for home and business owners to invest in renewable energy
and is a critical component of a state policy that promotes clean
energy.
In response to a 2005 federal law requiring all electric
utilities to provide net metering to their customers, South Carolina Gas
& Electric, Duke Energy, and Progress Energy submitted net metering
proposals to the South Carolina Public Service Commission last year.
Unfortunately, instead of following the lead of states whose
net metering policies have greatly increasing the use of renewable energy,
South Carolina's utilities have proposed a policy similar to one in North
Carolina. North Carolina's net metering policy recently received a grade
of "F" from the Interstate Renewable Energy Council and has resulted in
very little new renewable energy.
In order to improve proposed net metering rules in South
Carolina, members of the conservation community have requested the Public
Service Commission hold an additional hearing on this matter. Please
consider attending this hearing on April 22nd in Columbia.
