From Wisconsin Public Radio, July 21, 2022.
Utility regulators in Wisconsin have agreed to take a new look at an issue that clean energy boosters say is making it tough for some homeowners and businesses to install solar power.
The Midwest Renewable Energy Association and Vote Solar filed petitions in late May with the Public Service Commission, asking the commission to reconsider the legal status of third-party financing of solar systems, which they say provides an affordable option for Wisconsinites who want to add solar power to their homes or businesses. They want regulators to issue a ruling stating the financing tool is legal.
