Read AriSEIA’s Letter to ACC Regarding UNS and TEP’s RCP Rates
This week, AriSEIA submitted a letter to the ACC regarding UNS and TEP’s Resource Comparison Proxy (RCP) rates. Click here to learn more and read the full statement.
AriSEIA is among the dozens of Arizona organizations who signed a proposal urging the ACC to adopt a strong clean energy plan for the state. The letter was filed with the ACC last week, and the Commission discussed options from the July energy rules stakeholder meeting. You can view yesterday’s meeting here. Click here to learn more, and click here to access a social media toolkit provided by Vote Solar to help promote this important effort!
The Investment Tax Credit is one of the most successful clean energy policies ever passed and has helped support a robust solar industry in the United States. Despite this massive success, the ITC is currently scheduled to begin stepping down at the end of 2019. Click here to sign the letter urging Congress to extend the ITC.
Solar ITC Extension Bills Introduced in House and Senate
A bipartisan group of lawmakers in Washington, D.C. introduced legislation on Thursday that would extend the solar Investment Tax Credit for five years at its full 30 percent value. An extension has become the top priority for the U.S. solar industry, even if it faces an tough climb ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
The future of solar energy has never been more at risk in Arizona than it is today. Help AriSEIA grow! Join AriSEIA today, and give the solar industry the power it needs to thrive in Arizona.
