In a bid to fix a growing problem throttling solar development throughout the state, lawmakers are pushing to open the electric grid to absorb significantly more clean-energy projects.
Legislation cleared by a committee earlier this week is modeled after an initiative approved for Atlantic City Electric during its most recent rate case before utility regulators. Much of the utility’s franchise territory in South Jersey is so constrained that most residential solar projects cannot hook into its distribution system.
