Massachusetts Governor proposes to expand net metering caps | REEBA | Renewable Energy and Efficiency Business Association, Inc.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker has filed a bill that would raise the state’s private and public net metering caps by 2% each, up to 6% and 7%, respectively.
The bill would also provide for the development of a program to support solar development beyond the state’s current goal of 1,600 MW, and will create a “long term, market-predictable, sustainable framework” for projects, according to a release put out by the Governor.
