Solar advocates, led by Solar Holler founder and CEO Dan Conant, are fighting a plan by FirstEnergy utilities Mon Power and Potomac Edison to change the structure of net metering in West Virginia. They say the plan would short-change customers who generate their own electricity, but the utilities and others, including the state Public Service Commission Consumer Advocate Division, say non-solar customers are subsidizing solar customers under the current setup.
West Virginia Public Energy Authority executive director Nicholas Preservati and spokespeople in Gov. Jim Justice s administration all gave different answers when asked who the board s environmental representative is. The Public Energy Authority also faced fresh lawmaker scrutiny over its plan not to provide legal notice of petition processes to decommission or deconstruct a fossil fuel-fired plant under Senate Bill 609, which requires PEA approval to take those actions.
