FTC-Letter-Rep-Clarke
p. 1
According to Politico Morning Energy on June 7, 2016, "New York Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to shine a brighter light on rooftop solar - something the FTC is already considering. But as Pro's Esther Whieldon writes, Clarke's letter appears to have been written by the Edison Electric Institute, a trade association of investor-owned utilities, based on metadata associated with the file. Utilities have had a fraught relationship with rooftop solar, which threatens the traditional business model. The letter asks for greater oversight from the FTC. "We believe the FTC should commit resources towards establishing a regulatory framework that will ensure consumers are afforded minimum standards of protections and full contract disclosures," it says."
