You do know in many states this is not allowed or has even been outlawed?
How the heck does this statement/fact affect DinerDave? He is not in those "other states".
He isn’t right now. But his state could switch tomorrow.
Doubtful. Massachusetts, years ago gave what is now Eversource an ultimatum. Either make XX% of your power by whatever green means you want but do it. They whined about the massive investment. Mass. said OK, your option is to invest to do it, or pay the consumer to do it for you. Eversource took the lazy way and set up the SREC's. Sooo many took advantage of it, Eversource started to beg out of the agreement. The investing started with their own solar, wind, etc. so now Mass said OK, as of dec. 31, 2017 if a consumer is not on board with the SREC plan, that's it, no more. We are LOCKED in under the original agreement, meaning that for 10 years we benefit from Eversource's laziness and get paid this agreement.
Not seeing how that would change.
I realize not many states were able to work the same deal for it's residents, but I give kudos to Mass legislature for this one.
