State Office of Clean Energy aims to stabilize solar sector
The state wants to extend utility-run solar programs, a measure long advocated by industry lobbyists as a way of averting a crash in the fast-growing sector.
In a straw proposal developed by the state Office of Clean Energy with input from industry stakeholders, the agency recommends an extension of utility-sponsored programs to promote solar through long-term contracts with homeowners and businesses or solicitations with solar developers.
