A pair of solar industry leaders urged West Virginia lawmakers to legalize on-site PPAs in a recent Op/Ed in The (Huntington) Herald-Dispatch.
The authors are Sean Gallagher, vice president of state and regulatory affairs for Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), and Andrew Williams, vice president of policy and corporate affairs for SOL Systems LLC. SEIA, the national trade association for the solar industry, is a member of our coalition.
"Legislators should act quickly to give West Virginians the freedom to participate in PPAs. This simple action will create new competitive energy options, spur economic investment, create jobs, and facilitate innovation — all without the need for additional state funds or the need to raise taxes."
