As a result of the Governor’s failure to sign or veto the bill, the Value of Solar study bill (S.P. 644) was automatically enacted on April 11th. Most significantly, the bill directs the PUC to construct a report by February 15, 2015 on the value of distributed solar energy generation in Maine using the method consistent with published guidance from the Interstate Renewable Energy Council. It further directs the PUC to include policy options for increasing solar DG deployment within the state and permits, but does not require, the PUC to provide an analysis of which options may be appropriate for this purpose.
