Gainesville, FL Adopts Ordinance Regarding Solar Feed-In Tariffs
The City Commission will consider Ordinance No. 0-08-88, an amendment to Gainesville Code of Ordinances to Implement Solar Feed-In-Tariff. Under staff's initial proposal, one MW of PV installed with a payment of $0.26
per kWh will result in an impact of $0.32 on a 1,000 kWh residential bill in
2009. If the payment per kWh is increased to $0.32, the impact on a 1,000 kWh
residential bill would be $0.42.
