“What we’re seeing is […] the utility effectively extending its monopoly and crowding out the industry from really participating in the process.”

Read CCSA’s take in @_LatitudeMedia's piece on MN PUC decision here: https://t.co/IhxtNOXyxP

[CCSA @SolarAccess]

The MN PUC’s approval of Xcel’s Capacity Connect recognizes the value of distributed solar & storage, but the program’s closed, utility‑owned model eliminates competition & shifts risk to customers. CCSA joined
@Mn_SEIA & @SEIA to explain why this matters
