Earthjustice and partners defend fair solar competition generated at homes, farms and businesses who produce and sell clean electricity to We Energies in Wisconsin Circuit CourtJanuary 16, 2020 The We Energies proposal that the PSCW approved by a 2-1 vote violates federal and state law by paying more for power from their own systems on customer property than it pays customers who own identical systems. Two of the three Commissioners voted in December to price electricity from customer-owned clean energy significantly lower than how the Commission allows utilities to value electricity from their own power plants.?Chairperson Valcq dissented and would have treated customer generation fairly, according to the Commission’s order...?

This issue can not be resolved in the courts but rather we need to sit down and negotiate long term solutions for these issues. It has been fairly stated that the energy companies act on behalf of their shareholders over private producers but we must recognize that they are a business and that is actually their job. I am not supporting their position, just suggesting an understanding of their priorities will help us deal with them in the future. | ||
