SEIA moves ahead. Welcome Abby Hopper as the new CEO and President of SEIA. She takes over for Tom Kimbis who has been the interim President and will return to General Counsel and Executive Vice President. Hopper led the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and prior to that the Maryland Energy Administration. She will start next week, just a few days before Donald Trump takes the oath of office.

In Nevada that means looking at reinstatement of net metering in Las Vegas service area and Arizona has to fix the grandfathering rule is recently created.

Whether it is DOE or at the State (see IL) and now NY, solar could grab on to some of the subsidy bills that work to bailout the operators. Look at this in the same way we identified the oil embargo as an opportunity to attach the ITC. Stay tuned on this.
