Solar Energy and “Virtual Net Metering” in Ashland
In the City of Ashland, Virtual Net Metering is a policy which enables energy produced at one electric meter, to be credited to another meter within the Ashland’s municipal electric utility. The policy expands opportunities for Ashland citizens to develop offsite solar generation (where their own residence may not have good solar access), and to co-develop larger community solar systems with others.
