Solar Industry Wins Important Regulatory Victory

Call it the “icing on the cake.”  Right before America’s solar energy industry closed the books on a record-shattering year in 2013, we successfully convinced the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to approve a new rule that will expedite and reduce the cost of solar project interconnections, while maintaining the reliability and safety of the electric grid. 

Simply put, this action – which SEIA championed for nearly two years – will help to spur new solar deployment nationwide.  The rule was approved by a unanimous vote of the Commission. (cont.)
