Maybe it’s time to have a PUC soap opera. The amount of drama that encircles the solar proceedings at the different filings around the country. The Arizona commission had some temporary positive news around the fees APS is looking for but the better story comes from Hawaii. Just days before the PUC (out of the blue) changed and eliminated the rules for net metering, one of the commissioners applied to put more solar on their home. The rules changed for everyone that didn’t already have or apply for the install. The second is the key note here, I wonder if the commissioner’s timing was pure coincidence?
