Ari Peskoe, Director of our Electricity Law Initiative, describes a petition filed at FERC by a group calling itself the New England Ratepayers Association requesting that FERC find state-regulated net metering arrangements violate federal law and are therefore invalid.

If FERC were to grant NERA’s petition, utilities across the country would likely press state regulators to change the rules that have facilitated recent dramatic growth in rooftop solar.

We made this recording at a press event on June 10th, and these were Ari’s opening remarks. You can read more about this petition here https://eelp.law.harvard.edu/cleanlaw-electricity-law-initiative-files-comment-in-opposition-to-net-metering-petition/
