[Editor]

SMECO claims that the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) violated federal law by making utilities buy excess generation from community solar projects at retail rates.

Doesn't SMECO also refuse to buy excess energy generated by home solar systems?

Doesn't SMECO also refuse to buy excess energy generated by home solar systems?

Will I receive a credit for the energy I produce?

In accordance with state regulations, SMECO provides a credit on April electric bills for all net metering customers who have a net excess generation balance. In April 2015, the average credit was $38.50 for 413 customers.
