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

The state's new net metering policy means future solar customers will receive less money when they sell excess energy they produce back to the power grid. That lower return could put solar out of reach for school districts.

The University of Notre Dame unveiled a new array of solar panels Wednesday that will drop carbon emissions at the school by 148 tons a year, or the equivalent of planting 31 acres of trees.

A bill that would change net metering for solar energy production got its first hearing before a House committee Wednesday, continuing to draw debate from a wide range of stakeholders.

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.
