OREANDA-NEWS. July 04, 2016. SolarCity Corp. (Nasdaq: SCTY) Chief Policy Officer

Jon Wellinghoff made the following statement on the recommendation of the Chair of the Distributed Generation and Storage Technical Advisory Committee to the Governor's New Energy Industry Task Force:

"We thank Chairman Jeremy Susac for his proposal to extend net metering, and applaud his leadership in proposing tangible solutions to bring solar back to Nevada.  As the Chairman acknowledged, under the new rates the solar industry is 'drowning' and is unable to do business in the state. We're grateful the Task Force recognized the urgent need to grandfather existing net metering consumers, and we look forward to seeing future proposals that protect consumer choice and allow Nevada to regain its rightful place as a clean energy leader."
