The NC Clean Energy Technology Center (NCCETC) has been released Q2 2025 edition of “The 50 States of Solar. “The quarterly series provides insights into the regulatory and legislative discussions and actions of the State and actions in the field of distributed sun policy, with a focus on net measurement, distributed solar valuation, interconnection rules, community sages, fixed costs, homes, financial stimuli and sunshine.
The report shows that 48 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, have undertaken a kind of distribution policy campaign during the Q2 2025 (see figure below), with the largest number of actions that the net measurement policy (68), community zone bolic (48) and minimum drawing (48) and minimum drawing bolic (48) (48) (48) (48) (48) (48) (48) (48) (48) (48) (48) (48) (48) (48) (48) (48). (39). A total of 252 distributed actions for sun policy under Q2 2025 were taken, with most actions in Colorado, Conecticut, Virginia, Minnesota, New York and New Jersey.
Q2 2025 Policy promotion on net -measurement, rate design and solar ownership
The report identifies three trends in the activities of the sun policy taken in Q2 2025: (1) States that initiate studies in the valuation of distributed energy, (2) states that support consumer protection measures for third-party ownership systems, and (3) states that adjust the immovable tax tax for solar energy.
“This quarter, the value of distributed energy and solar energy throughout the country has aroused the interest of state policy and supervisors, while they continue to refine their distributed generation compensation programs, with a number of states that conduct studies to provide insight into this value,” noted Cleo Carter, policy analyst at NCCETC. “These studies will evaluate the potential costs and benefits related to distributed generation and give recommendations about how those characteristics should be appreciated.”
The report notes that the top five distributed actions of the sunbel policy of Q2 2025:
- Dominion Energy Virginia proposes a net measuring successor rate;
- The legislative power of Montana passes, and the Governor Vetoing, legislation that makes community zoning possible;
- The Delaware Sustainable Energy Utility that releases its value of solar study;
- The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources Filing 3.0 Updates for the Smart program; And
- Maine policy makers that make various changes to the Net Energy Billing Program of the State.
“As the use of solar energy throughout the country, decision makers wanted to promote consumer protection for third-party systems,” said Caitlin Flanagan, policy analyst at NCCETC. “Legislers have implemented new provisions for consumer protection and investigate research into consumer protection issues with regard to solar renting contracts, power purchase agreements and other external financing and ownership structures.”
