Local and National Updates
Renewable energy coalition asks Congress for residential ITC direct pay option
More than 300 environmental justice advocates, environmental groups and renewable energy companies sent a letter to leaders of the Senate Finance and House Ways & Means Committees today supporting a direct pay option for the residential energy efficiency property tax credit (26 U.S.C. § 25D). 
Power grab: Company that promises 100% renewable energy wants to challenge APS, Tucson Electric
An electric company that provides 100% renewable energy wants to compete head to head with Arizona Public Service Co. and Tucson Electric Power, giving customers a choice in whom they pay for electricity.
Once customers get the basics, we recommend giving a “crash course” in battery sizing — enough so they understand and aren’t misled by less reputable companies.
