New Florida Net-Metering Law |
Abundant Energy.com - 6/19/09
The interconnection of solar energy systems in Florida into the
power grid has been slightly more than complicated for residential and
commercial customers in Co-op or Municipal power areas. Last year the
Public Service Commission passed a net-metering law that required all
investor owned utilites, such as FPL and Progress Energy to Net-Meter
small renewable energy generators. This was not so for small
cooperative utilities and Municipal utilties such as Lake Worth Power
in Florida, Sarasota.
By July 1st 2009 all Utilites in the State will have to have
technology in place to accurately “buy back” excess daily generated
power by solar energy systems such as Photovoltaics on residential and
commercial properties. Not only are they required to buy back, but they
are required to buy back at the rates at which the utility charges, up
to 100% of the annual building usage. Full Story...

8. Even though the Florida Legislature failed to adopt a Renewable
Portfolio Standard (RPS), the Florida solar industry received welcome news when
our state lawmakers took advantage of federal stimulus dollars to provide much
needed funding for the solar rebate program as well as other energy programs
that will benefit the solar industry.
Florida’s budget for the 2009–2010 FY was approved by the Florida
Legislature on Friday, May 8, 2009. The budget will be sent to the Governor for
final action. The Governor has line item veto authority on budget items. All
funding provided for in the budget for renewable energy comes from the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Absolutely no general revenue dollars
