The city of Richmond is considering paying solar customers with excess power the lower wholesale rate plus 25 percent, rather than the higher retail rate.

The fix would help more schools finance solar projects, to reduce their electric bill and put money back in the classroom.

A state law and an international trade case could make solar more expensive for some Hoosiers.

If approved, the solar farm and battery storage equipment would become the first so-called "microgrid" at any National Guard facility in the state.

A legislative study committee heard testimony on wind energy, potential conflicts of interests, and how a controversial new law will impact schools.

The Senate gave final approval to the bill with a 37-11 vote.

SB 309 revamps Indiana's net metering policy, a move opposed by the state's renewable energy advocates.

Senate bill 309 passed the Senate 39-9 Monday night.

Hoosiers who generate energy, like solar panels, can sell excess energy to utilities at a retail rate, but a bill to change that leaves some lawmakers confused.

Lawmakers passed an amended version of the bill that drew more than five hours of public testimony last week.
