Isaac Moriwake, Staff Attorney, Earthjustice: “HECO is a national leader at integrating rooftop solar into the traditional utility grid. But the PUC directed it to find a new model that optimizes DER and makes it part of a new and transformed system instead of cramming it into the traditional utility business.”

Michael Hiatt, Staff Attorney, Earthjustice: “It’s now up to the states to make greater advancements toward clean energy, Unfortunately, Arizona has numbered the days left for people to participate in a successful solar program. This decision casts serious doubts on the long-term viability of rooftop solar in Arizona.”
