MO: PSC seeks comments on solar, net metering, rate design, EVs

Posted by on

Missouri’s Public Service Commission has opened a proceeding to gather information and facilitate discussions regarding emerging issues related to utility regulation. The PSC has scheduled a full-day workshop on May 18. The workshop agenda includes questions related to the PSC’s role in:

  • Shaping the “solar landscape,” including PURPA, net metering and CHP rules, avoided-cost calculations, value-of-solar calculations, and utility-scale and community solar projects. This topic also encompasses relevant activities in other states.
  • Shaping AMI deployment. 
  • Shaping PACE and on-bill financing programs. 
  • Implementing modified rate-design proposals, including residential TOU rates, inclining-block rates, and effects on renewables and efficiency. This topic also encompasses relevant activities in other states.
  • Promoting a competitive market for plug-in electrical vehicles, including infrastructure-ownership issues. (This topic also encompasses relevant activities in other states.)

Public comments are invited.
