Louisiana’s Limit on Local Power

Louisiana’s Limit on Local Power is going to kill our future of renewable energy.  Louisiana has gone from the solar envy of other states with our “best in the nation” 50% refundable solar tax credit to the “nearly worst in the nation” .5% Net Metering Cap.  A Net Metering Cap means that if you take all of the solar power systems connected to a utility and add up their MAXIMUM RATED OUTPUT POWER of the solar panels, it can only add up to 1/2 of one percent of the generation capacity of that utility.

Look at a graphic to see how bad we look.

Lets put an end to this embarrassment, which is politically motivated, rather than technically required.
