Solar energy supporters, utilities spar over legislation

#Energy

Solar energy supporters are pushing back against a bill backed by Indiana's utilities that would change how much credit owners of small-scale solar installations get for the power they generate. The bill authored by state Rep. Eric Koch, R-Bedford, would amend Indiana code for so-called "net metering," under which electric customers are charged only for the net amount of power they use and get credit on future bills for excess power they generate and send back into the electric grid.
