Solar industry calls for market driven approach to TVA solar programs

Industry group urges TVA to reconfigure solar programs to meet market demand, retain

workforce and enable clean, low cost energy in the Valley

Knoxville, Tenn.—TenneSEIA, the state business association representing the solar

industry, responded to the closure of TVA’s solar programs today by publically urging the

authority to abandon the practice of setting arbitrary calendar year caps on solar

installations and instead, adopt a market driven model that decreases incentives based on

the amount of solar installed and incorporates the value of solar energy into the budgeting

process. TenneSEIA hopes to resolve these issues prior to the TVA Board of Directors

voting on the 2014 budget at its August 22nd meeting in Knoxville.
