Virginia Democrats pass proposal to incentivize small solar projects

The measure could allow more customers to qualify for bill credits.
Though a proposal intended to increase the commonwealth’s buildout of utility-scale solar farms failed this year, another that could incentivize smaller projects fared better.
The bill, sponsored by Del. Katrina Callsen (D–Charlottesville) and state Sen. Schuyler VanValkenburg (D–Henrico), avoided much of the controversy around the other proposal by alleviating some of the need for rural land, according to the patrons.
It would accomplish that by instead increasing buildout of smaller, or distributed, solar resources. Think rooftops or land belonging to homeowners, schools, hospitals and more.
“This gets more solar to the places that everyone agrees that it should go,” Callsen said in a committee hearing on the bill.
