Pennsylvania bill closes the borders to out-of-state solar credits
Pennsylvania electric utilities will soon have to buy home-grown solar power to satisfy a state mandate that they get a sliver of their power from solar generators.
The bill passed by the General Assembly last week will change a 13-year-old law so that power companies can no longer use renewable energy credits from out-of-state projects to fulfill requirements that they get a portion of the energy they sell from solar sources.
