Vermont Coop Ordered to Stop Net Metering Program

The Vermont Public Service Department has directed Washington Electric Co-op (WEC) to suspend its net metering program after the coop attempted to change the program to limit projects to 5 kW due to an existing state cap.  The regulator determined that WEC had not been authorized to make this change and therefore must stop accepting applications.  The state legislature plans to address the net metering law early next year.  Click here for the latest on this story.  See the Sutherland Coop Team’s August 15, 2013, post for more on WEC’s net metering issue.
