Renewable Energy

The Senate Energy and Public Utilities Committee plans to hold a hearing on SB52 Wednesday that would allow local voters the ability to deny a renewable energy project through a referendum. Opponents said it creates unfair regulation on the clean energy industry.

Republican lawmakers are making changes to a bill that seeks to give local voters the power to reject a renewable energy project in their neighborhood.

There’s a non-profit recruiting Columbus homeowners to join a solar co-op. The idea is pretty simple: by pooling buyers, they can get a better deal on the cost of panels and installation.

Letters are hitting mailboxes around Columbus explaining big changes to electricity service in the city, thanks to a local ballot measure approved by voters last year. Starting in June, the city’s default energy supplier will begin relying on 100% renewable sources. That means unless consumers opt out, their home is going to be getting a bit greener.
