Protect Your Solar Benefits Before Changes To West Virginia’s Net Metering Policy
Proposed Policy Changes To West Virginia Net Metering
In a shift that will impact solar energy users in West Virginia, major utilities Mon Power and Potomac Edison have petitioned the state’s Public Service Commission to reduce the credit received by solar panel owners for excess power production.
Citing concerns about grid maintenance and infrastructure costs, the utilities argue that the current net metering system fails to adequately address these expenses.
The potential changes to WV net metering are currently under review, but are meeting resistance from residents and their representatives.

How To Prepare For The Upcoming Changes To WV Net Metering Policy
As the fate of West Virginia’s net metering policy hangs in the balance, it’s crucial for homeowners and businesses to take action. By contacting local representatives or signing petitions in support of WV HB5422, individuals can advocate for a more equitable energy landscape.
However, in addition to supporting legislative change, there’s another way to secure your solar benefits: by switching to solar energy before any potential alterations to the net metering policy take effect.
By doing so, you can lock in the existing 1-to-1 rate for crediting excess energy production, maximizing your savings and ensuring continued financial benefits.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to take control of your energy future.
Act today to secure your spot in West Virginia’s favorable net metering program.
