At JKB Energy, we pledge to provide our clients with the most up-to-date information on changes to solar policy. On August 2, 2023, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) announced a preliminary decision based on net energy metering aggregation (NEMA) that impacts many of our solar customers. Following this decision, energy generated by systems over 1 meter must be categorized as an export––even if the electricity is consumed on-site and off the grid.

The IRA incentivizes the development of clean on-site generation in order to address environmental goals. The following information offers a comprehensive overview of the 2023 ITC (investment tax credit), which lowers the federal income tax liability for a percentage of the cost of a solar system installed within the tax year.

The recent release of a proposed decision by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has significant implications for the renewable energy sector, including our valued clients.

As a business owner or farmer operating in PG&E territory, you have likely been following the recent news about potential rate increases with concern.

As the solar landscape continues to change, our goal at JKB is to ensure you have all the information you need to make the best decision for your operation.

At the end of last year, The California Public Utilities Commissions (CPUC) voted to end Net Energy Metering and replace it with a Net Billing Tariff, a new policy that features a substantial reduction in the net metering value of solar electricity.

The Inflation Reduction Act keeps the advantageous 30% tax credit in place but adds new requirements for projects over 1MW, including mandating prevailing wage on these projects. Otherwise projects will face a reduction of the credit from 30% to 6%.

America’s energy sector is undergoing the largest transformation since the automobile.
