If you ask Rocky Mountain Power, Utah’s largest provider of electricity, the company fully supports a bill on Capitol Hill that would preserve the popular tax credit on residential installs for a few more years.
The utility agreed to lobby for the tax credits as part of a 2017 settlement that ended its prior system for reimbursing solar panel owners for surplus electricity they generate, known as net metering.
