Moratorium on Paying Back Grids

By AP

Knoxville, TN – The Tennessee Valley Authority is placing a moratorium on a popular program that pays homeowners and businesses that generate electricity from solar energy. The Tennessean reports about $31 million has been spent or committed of the $50 million originally allocated to the Generation Partners program. And the agency has more than $100 million in applications pending. TVA Senior Project Manager Susan Curtis said the moratorium is temporary while TVA works with a group of distributors to revamp the program.
