District of Columbia AG Sued Utility for Mishandling Community Solar Programs

District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine and the Office of the People’s Counsel filed a complaint against Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco) to investigate the utility company’s mismanagement of renewable energy programs. Many D.C. residents already have a high energy burden and do not own property that can support the installation of solar panels. But through programs such as Pepco’s, residents can access renewable energy generated at off-site solar facilities. The AG found, however, that Pepco may be overcharging more than 6,800 households who are a part of this program.
