First the great news. I will be speaking at the Solar Capital Markets conference today in New York and China is shooting for 20GW per year for the rest of the decade. But here’s the bad news. Regulators have done it again, this time in Hawaii. The Hawaii PUC, without as much as cost hearings with the public and industries, has decided to end net metering. It doesn’t take a genius to know why, the PUC has gone against the legislators and Governor to do what NextEra wants. Just this week, you had the Florida counterpart come out against solar net metering in a State that has no penetration. Time for solar to really get involved in the PUC elections.
