Dive Brief:

• Arizona regulators could end a requirement this week that the state's investor-owned utilities get a percent of their power from distributed resources like rooftop solar.
• The Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) has already phased out incentives for rooftop solar.
• Arizona's renewable requirements ramp up to 15% by 2025. The rules require that 30% of the renewables come from distributed resources, and that residential rooftop account for half of that amount.
• The state's utilities oppose the distributed requirement and want, at a minimum, a waiver from the rule.

Dive Insight:

This decision comes after a tough fight over solar fees that left both sides unhappy. The solar industry want the ACC to keep the rooftop requirements. Ultimately, the ACC will make a policy decision on how far it wants to go in supporting solar in the state or having it stand on its own merits.
