California "Solar Gardens" Bill Passes Committee 9-0

California assembly bill AB1014 has unanimously passed the Assembly Committee on Utilities and Commerce.  The bill has had some significant changes in order to work with a new green power purchase program.

According to the committee's analysis at http://leginfo.ca.gov/pub/13-14/bill/asm/ab_1001-1050/ab_1014_cfa_20130426_160156_asm_comm.html

"Off-site renewables arrangements allowing ratepayers to purchase shares in renewable facilities and receive generation credits on their utility bills can enable low-income Californians and those who don't own their roofs or who aren't oriented toward the sun to participate in the market for renewable energy."

Promising news!
