Congratulations to the Kentucky Sustainable Energy Alliance ("KYSEA") for pulling together an amazing Clean Energy Lobby Day on February 28 on behalf of HB 167, the Clean Energy Opportunity Act.  Over 60 people from KYSEA member organizations showed up to lobby for clean energy.  Special thanks to Lisa Abbott and Lauren McGrath for pulling it together!

See calendar below for upcoming events!

2012 Legislative Session renewable energy bills

Clean Energy Opportunity Act - House Representatives Mary Lou Marzian, Rita Smart, Jim Wayne and Joni Jenkins sponsored the Clean Energy Opportunity Act, a/k/a  House Bill 167.  It has been assigned to the Tourism Development and Energy Committee.  There is more information about the bill here

Enhanced Net Metering
- House Representatives Jim Wayne,
Steve Riggs, Ron Crimm, Mary Lou Marzian, Kelly Flood, Reginald Meeks and Joni Jenkins have sponsored and filed House Bill 187.  The bill primarily lifts the limit for net metering from 30 kilowatts to 2 megawatts.  This bill has also been assigned to the House Tourism Development and Energy Committee.

If you have a representative on the Tourism Development and Energy Committee, please call and write them to express support for the bill. Better yet, go pay them a visit! 

Also, please take a moment to call the sponsors of these bills at 800.372.7181 and thank them!
