Psnh Solar Proposal Sparks Objections (Going Green) (New Hampshire. Public Utilities Commission. Public Service)

A proposal to allow Public Service of New Hampshire to divert money it pays into a state-controlled renewable energy fund to build a solar-powered generation facility at Manchester's capped landfill has generated controversy in the local alternative energy industry even before it has reached the daylight" of public scrutiny. At issue is whether the utility should be able to keep a quarter of the money it is supposed to pay into the fund because it has failed to meet renewable energy standards--and what that change may have on the New Hampshire renewable energy industry.
