Every Saturday, Bloomberg New Energy Finance sends out a newsletter commenting on a current highlight in the energy space. This Saturday, I was very much surprised with the message contained in the newsletter. I have asked for clarification and don’t fully understand what the basis for the commentary is but here is the key comment that I am very much at odds with; “Archaic net energy metering (NEM) policies in the US are currently overgenerous for distributed generation.” With the consensus on the topic from impartial 3rd parties being that solar net metering is a financial benefit to all ratepayers, I fail to understand what is meant by the statement.
