Williams Wins Right to Sell PA Solar Credits from Compressor Arrays

In a case the judges themselves called one of first impression, Pennsylvania's Commonwealth Court just handed one of the country's biggest natural gas pipeline companies the right to earn — and sell — Pennsylvania solar energy credits. Williams wants to put two 11-megawatt (MW) solar arrays next to a pair of Transco compressor stations in Wyoming and Columbia counties. The panels won't touch the electric grid. They'll simply feed the compressor stations and shrink Williams' power bill. The Public Utility Commission said twice that meant no solar credits. On August 19, the court said the PUC was wrong.
