Arizona Solar Advocates Call Favorable Net Metering Decision ‘a Commitment to Data-Driven Analysis’

In a 4-1 ruling, the commission passed a modified version of a proposed decision by an administrative law judge which says that UNS must wait for the conclusion of a value-of-solar study before it can modify the basic net metering arrangement, impose solar-specific rates or impose demand charges.

It also says that any changes cannot be retroactive, a point which was emphasized by Attorney Court Rich, who represented the Alliance for Solar Choice (TASC). "Their commitment to grandfathering is a great thing for the solar industry and for all Arizonans," Rich told PV Magazine. "I think that is a very important outcome."
