I learned something new today. From 1935 to 2005, Congress felt the need to limit the size of regulated monopolies and the same act in 1935 kept the separation between regulated and unregulated utilities. The trend continues of utilities getting into the solar game with the unregulated affiliates in some cases becoming larger than the regulated units. As utility IPPs with regulated (and unregulated) parents get into the solar game what is the main goal? Is it capital deployment, customer loyalty or revenue generation? Let’s see how it plays out.
