The governor signed legislation this week removing obstacles from the state’s Net Energy Metering program. The program enables Californians to generate clean, renewable energy on their property and get financial credit on their energy bill. SB 594 enables a customer with multiple meters to install one renewable energy facility that will serve all meters on the same property or on adjoining property, instead of installing separate facilities at each meter.

Solar companies hoping to harness the sun’s energy have eyes on flat land just west of Mountain House near the San Joaquin County line. At least four applicants proposed building solar energy facilities—ranging from 14 to 2,000 acres—on prime farmland, prompting members of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to ask their planners to begin work on a policy to guide development.
