Delaware Bill Expanding Community Renewables

In September 2021, Delaware enacted a law expanding eligibility for community-based solar photovoltaic systems in the State. The bill allows for multiple types of ownership models to exist and compete; increases the maximum size of these systems to 4 megawatts; eliminates the requirement that all customers of a system must be located on the same distribution feeder; eliminates the requirement that all customers of a system must be identified before the system can be built; provides compensation to the system owner for 10% or less of unsubscribed energy; requires each system owner to certify that it serves at least 15% low income customers; and more.
