Suit Targets Exemption to Mo. Solar Power Rebate
Mar 18th, 2010 | By Editor | Category: Latest HeadlinesMissouri voters adopted a law in 2008 requiring utilities to offer rebates to customers who install solar power systems. But before voters could act, state lawmakers passed an exemption to the initiative.
A lawsuit released Tuesday asks a Missouri judge to declare the rebate exemption invalid and to order The Empire District Electric Co. to abide by the voter-approved law.
The Joplin-based utility, which serves about 140,000 electric customers in southwest Missouri, contends it legally qualifies for the rebate exemption.
The legal dispute stems partly from the chronology of events in 2008.
