Ask your legislators to make it illegal for municipal utilities to discriminate against customers who own solar panels.
In May 2018, Iowa’s governor signed a law (SF2311) that allows municipal utilities to discriminate against customers who own solar panels. It should not matter who provides your electricity or who your utility company is or who owns the company. When it comes to installing solar panels on your home or business, you should be charged the same for the electricity you use as the family or business that does not have solar panels. You cannot choose who your power company is. Discrimination should be illegal. The legislature needs to protect the rights of all Iowans to own solar panels and not be discriminated against.
Municipal utility customers should be allowed to install solar panels without penalty.
