Solar panel supporters gathered in Lansing in opposition of proposed reforms to Michigan’s energy policies.
About 60 people came together on the Capitol lawn for the Stand For Solar rally to express concern to changes being considered in a Senate committee they say would eliminate the state’s net metering program.
The program ensures solar users get credits for giving the excess power they generate to their utility.
Supporters of net metering say it’s a program that works and shouldn’t be changed.
The proposed reforms would require solar users sell all the power they generate at wholesale prices to their utility, which would then resell the electricity to customers at the retail amount.
