COLUMBUS — “A bill to extend the “freeze” of Ohio’s renewable energy and efficiency standards also contains provisions that would undermine solar growth in the state, advocates say.
SB 320, which was introduced last month, “is unprecedented as far as what it’s proposing,” said Amy Heart, senior manager of public policy for Sunrun, a residential solar installer.
Specifically, the bill would undermine net metering and allow utilities to enter the rooftop solar business – essentially competing with private companies that must operate under a different set of rules.”
