Urgency for legislature to raise net metering caps builds as session break looms

In the blazing heat of summer, solar generation and construction should be growing rapidly in Massachusetts but legislators have failed to raise the net metering cap and solar projects remain stalled across the state. The 171 communities in National Grid territory have seen solar projects stall thanks to net metering caps. The current backlog of solar projects is greater than the total amount of solar installed in Massachusetts in 2011 and include low income, community shared and municipal solar projects. Legislators need to act on this issue before their summer break to keep solar working for the Commonwealth.
