摘要

Despite long winters, a famously foggy coastline and relatively few solar panels in operation, Maine is emerging as a pivotal U.S. state for determining how consumers will pay for power generated by the sun. U.S. solar installations have boomed more than 10-fold in the past five years, driven in part by a policy known as net metering that requires utilities to pay their customers for extra solar energy from rooftop panels. That has lowered consumers' monthly bills, and also cuts into revenue for utilities that still must contend with their own fixed costs-spurring conflict between traditional power companies and solar providers. Lawmakers in at least 17 states, from New England to the Sun Belt, are now considering changes to the economics of rooftop power, and the industry is watching every debate closely. Maine has proposed replacing net metering with a system that lets utilities sign 20-year contracts with residential solar customers. And instead of paying the retail price, as called for under current policies, utilities would pay rates set by regulators.
