New Report Applauds ELPC’s Interconnection Work
Friday, October 17, 2008
A new report, Freeing the Grid, gives Illinois and ELPC high marks on the state’s new interconnection and net metering policies. The report highlights best and worst practices in net metering and interconnection standards across the country and describes Illinois’ relatively new standards.
“The success in Illinois resulted from effective legislation and great collaboration at the regulatory level. Workshops and hearings that had little tangible results through mid-2007 came to new life with passage of legislation requiring that the ICC establish rules. Both before and after the legislation, the Chicago-based Environmental Law and Policy Center (ELPC) coordinated the efforts of non-utility parties and spearheaded workshop discussions, doggedly avoiding the specter of rulemaking by attrition of interested parties.”
