Institute for Policy Integrity Comments on Net Metering in Wisconsin
Policy Integrity submitted comments to the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, arguing that both the positive and negative externalities of distributed solar generation should be considered when determining net metering rates. Specifically, we suggest that the Commission should: Adjust the proposed net metering rate to include the health and environmental benefits associated with the avoided greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and emissions of local pollutants; Adjust the proposed net metering rate to include the value of the net impact of distributed solar generation on the local grid; and Consider regulatory reforms to better achieve Wisconsin’s energy goals.
