“Vote Solar” and other renewable energy supporters are applauding Governor Sandoval and the New Energy Industry Task Force, for recommending a suite of bills that will help spur solar energy development in Nevada. Jessica Scott of Vote Solar says “Nevadans overwhelmingly want more solar energy powering their state, and it’s exciting to see Governor Sandoval and his New Energy Industry Task Force taking concrete steps to make that hope a reality.”  The Task Force recommended that the 2017 Legislature consider a number of bills that will preserve or expand renewable energy in Nevada, including “Grandfathering” net metering, and setting limits on electricity produced by fossil fuels.
