net metering

The Canadian province’s first pilot solar park will be built by local hydropower producer and utility Hydro-Quebec. The region is also preparing to support solar distributed generation through net metering.

Through the scheme, the Caucasian country will support wind, solar, biomass, and hydropower generation installations with a capacity of up to 100 kW.

The Tamil Nadu utility is planning to slash its net metering tariff from INR 6.63 – 7.23/kWh to potentially as little as INR 2.20/kWh in response to recent record-low tariffs in the state and as a means to increase uptake of rooftop solar.

While the grid operator Enatrel conducts a feasibility study for solar distributed generation projects, the president Daniel Ortega urges the Parliament to approve the reform of the energy system which will introduce net metering for PV.

Under the new rules, which will come into force on July 1, the size limit of 500 kW for power generators installed under the scheme will be removed.

Renewable energy power generators installed under the scheme will sell power surplus to local utilities Labrador Hydro and Newfoundland Power starting from July 2017.

The move by the Haryana government seen as clear support of solar industry, designed to lower the financial barriers for renewable energy in the Northern Indian state.

Around 3.4 MW of PV systems were installed in Ukraine under its net metering scheme in the first quarter of this year. The scheme was introduced by the Ukrainian government in 2015.

Greece’s environment and energy minister has approved the country’s virtual net metering provisions. This is a policy step towards the right direction, however it is not expected to have a significant effect on Greece’s PV installations any time soon.

ACER and CEER have asked the European Commission to take a more market-oriented approach for the Clean Energy Package 2020-2030. The two organizations called on Brussels to remove priority dispatch for existing renewables and to avoid net metering.
