Public Citizen Texas
Good Day, (for Texas) Sunshine
This morning marks a good day for Texas sunshine! Public Citizen Texas gives you the early morning scoop -- late last night the Texas Senate passed through HB 1423, a net metering bill to provide owners of solar installations with fair buy-back rates for the excess energy they produce. As an added bonus, SB 545 was amended to the bill, which would create a pool of $500 million in solar rebates over the next 5 years, start a pilot program to put solar on schools, and create as many as thousands of green, local jobs.
