Here are two bills addressing solar energy that deserve our attention. The LWVWV legislative priority is to Create a Sustainable Future by supporting legislation that provides opportunities for West Virginians to access a diverse energy grid. HB 4834 is consistent with this priority; HB 5131 is not.
MAKE SOME NOISE and contact members of the House Energy Committee to support HB 4834 and to oppose HB 5131 [image: 0badbe91-e769-4e11-af5c-c1638faaab90.png]
*HB 4834 * Broadens availability of solar energy production to small consumers with inadequate roof space or excessive shade, and provides a utility bill credit for a subscriber's proportionate share.
*HB 5131 *This bill changes the formula for crediting a consumer's electric bill for solar energy generated by the consumer's solar panels, thereby reducing the amount of the credit.
