4 Hot Topics: IREC Experts Presented at Intersolar North America 2016
IREC presented on four critical topics at Intersolar North America July 12-14, 2016.
Rare Regulatory Triple Play Means Good Things for Energy Customers Coast to Coast
IREC is involved in over a dozen simultaneous regulatory proceedings across the country at any given moment. Yet, rare it is when three state regulatory milestones occur within the same week. In an unexpected occurrence of regulatory synchronicity, the commissions of California, South Carolina and Maryland all hit the streets in the same week with some pretty big (and long-awaited) steps forward for consumer oriented clean energy. What’s more, IREC was thrilled to see clearly reflected in all of them the adoption of several IREC recommendations, all of which make it easier and more affordable for more consumers to access and benefit from clean energy.
