The state’s Public Service Commission voted Tuesday to approve the utility’s integrated resources plan—the company’s blueprint for how to supply electricity to customers statewide.
However, the PSC also rejected a motion that would have doubled the amount of solar the company would have to use.
The motion would have forced the utility to buy solar power from private industry.
A PSC commissioner says it would have expanded the commercial viability of emerging solar technology.
