Delaware, United States: change to production limit qualifying criterion

It appears that the granularity of this article remains relatively low, so I will add this information here rather than to the article presently. In the state of Delaware, United States 'net energy metering' (as it is referred to there) is available via legislation. One of the qualifying criteria for net metering relates to the amount of energy produced; presently the upper limit for qualification is 25 kilowatts. Legislation is in play that would drastically increase the upper limit to 2000 kilowatts (2 megawatts) (see [1]). Regards --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:41, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Industry critique of wording about FIT

I just saw an editorial on Renewable Energy Access that cited Wikipedia a number of times, in the course of contrasting Germany's Feed-In Tarriff policy structure against the U.S. RPS and UK Renewable Obligation approach. The editorial was critical of the conclusion that Germany's FIT is "an extreme form of net metering"

I'm going to add this page to my watchlist and try to get up to speed on what we've got here, as this is a topic I follow pretty closely. I should also be able to collect some info on Ontario's new net metering and related policy changes.Birdbrainscan 19:07, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

It appears from the legislation that the power generator can generate more power than what they consume and it also appears that if they generate enough of it, 150 KW, the utility must pay them the power pool price, which can get really high during times of peak demand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elmerfud (talkcontribs) 00:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

United Kingdom

The UK has had feed-in tariffs for years, and yet no mention of this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.193.68.7 (talk) 21:20, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
