NEWS: Other state energy legislation we’re watching this week

  • Maryland and Colorado became the fourth and fifth states to send plug-in solar rules to their governors. These cover devices up to 1.2 kW (MD) and 1.92 kW (CO), which feed power through a standard wall outlet (no interconnection process needed). CO’s bill also bars landlords and HOAs from blocking installations. So far, 33 states plus DC have introduced similar legislation…but plenty of bills have fizzled out or faced delays.

  • In Virginia, Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed a bipartisan storage bill setting capacity targets of 4 GW by 2030 and 16 GW by 2045—the country’s most aggressive short-duration storage goal yet. And VA already ranks top five nationally for storage projects in the pipeline.
