Oh Nevada. The net metering fight that had many flavors, most of them sour and bitter. In what ended up being largely a fight over what to do with the policies after NV Energy misled the legislature until the beginning of the year. The PUC did the right thing and voted to keep the existing policy in place until the commission figures out the next evolution of NEM. Looking at the details it shows what the value of policy continues to be, some companies left the State while others played the game of politics and stuck it out, then won. If your company doesn’t invest in policy, figure out what you’re doing. If you have good policy people, give them a raise, a big one so your company is protected.
