Abstract:

North Carolina’s House Bill 909 rolls back provisions requiring Duke Energy to purchase renewable energy projects, like solar, from independent producers at the avoided cost rate. Proponents say the bill will promote conservation by reducing the demand for fossil fuels, but critics argue that the legislation will actually limit the state’s solar infrastructure.
