The New York Public Service Commission ruled in favor of NRG Community Solar LLC, finding that the power supplier’s community solar project should be awarded more generous so-called volumetric credits than the rates offered by Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corp. and Orange and Rockland Utilities Inc. In its Sept. 12 ruling, the commission dismissed arguments by the utilities that the size and the type of grid connection caused the community solar projects to fall under the less favorable demand rate class, a designation which would cut by up to half the economic value of the credits provided. The commission said that consistent with its March 2017 order, regardless of a project’s service class, meter type, or billing method, projects that receive compensation under Phase One Net Energy Metering rules should have credits awarded via volumetric crediting. NRG Community Solar, a unit of NRG Energy Inc., said it has invested millions of dollars primarily in the territory of Central Hudson and Orange and Rockland.
