>Solar sector likely to look for bailout by regulators
With hopes for a legislative fix dashed, the solar sector likely will press for a regulatory remedy to stabilize an industry that has seen prices for the credits owners of solar systems earn for the electricity they produce drop dramatically in the past six months.
When the lame duck legislature ended yesterday without lawmakers even posting a much-debated bill designed to prop up prices for the credits, the attention shifts to the Office of Clean Energy within the state Board of Public Utilities, which has been considering a similar but less aggressive proposal.
