Statement from Governor Hassan on Signing Bipartisan Legislation to Lift Net Metering Cap

Press Release

Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement after signing today House Bill 1116, relative to net energy metering:

"Solar and other small scale clean energy resources are critical to New Hampshire's growing clean energy economy, which is creating good-paying, high-quality jobs, spurring economic development and helping combat climate change. Clean energy resources such as solar are also helping businesses and families across the state lower their energy bills and increase their energy independence, helping to build a more diverse and reliable energy supply that will lead to a more affordable and more innovative energy future for our state. Lifting the cap on net metering is essential to the continued success of New Hampshire's solar industry, and I am proud to sign this bipartisan bill so that our clean energy industry can continue to grow and thrive."

Governor Hassan also today signed companion legislation, Senate Bill 378, relative to the availability of net metering tariffs.
