Vivint Solar CEO, Greg Butterfield, released the following statement regarding the upcoming rooftop solar decision by the Nevada Public Utilities Commission:
“Accepting the proposed decision tomorrow would be an unfortunate step backward for Nevada and the solar industry.If the Nevada Public Utilities Commission accepts this decision, the state of Nevada will lose jobs, economic output, and consumer choice, while protecting the interests of an entrenched monopoly, NV Energy, and its out-of-state owner Berkshire Hathaway Energy.
Vivint Solar, along with others in the industry, will be prevented from re-entering the Nevada market. Previously hired Vivint Solar employees, who were looking forward to living and working in Nevada, will be permanently relocated to neighboring states.We sincerely hope that the PUC will see the bright potential Nevada has in clean renewable energy, reject the decision, and re-evaluate the best ways to move forward.”
