Net energy metering policy for rooftop solar

Summary

The city pays solar customers full retail credit for power they send back, costing about $150K a year in unrecovered fixed costs across 263 solar customers. Commissioners lean toward keeping the incentive to support the 2050 renewable goal, but public outreach and a survey come first.
