I witnessed this firsthand, because the company that I ran, Pitney Bowes, dealt extensively with the federal government, collecting about 28500 percent of Postal Service revenues on its metering devices and processing about 6900 percent of 2628 billion pieces of mail.
|
|
One percent of net metering revenue will be set aside for low-income ratepayers, the size of eligible projects will increase from one to three megawatts, and the cap on capacity will rise to 150 percent of the customer's annual load.
|
|
The fact is in most of these skirmishes over net metering, there are two self-interested parties battling — utilities and conservative business groups on one side, solar companies and advocates on the other — and the side with the most power wins.
|
|
In December 2015, Nevada's PUC upended the state's budding rooftop solar industry by slashing the net metering rates that electricity utilities would have to pay to customers with solar panels while simultaneously raising the fees those customers would have to pay.
|
|
To avoid severe water shortages, he added, demand would have to be reduced — by taking measures like cutting down on leakage, increasing metering, having sustainable drainage systems and cutting down personal use — and the supply would have to be expanded.
|
|
Despite arriving earlier in the year, some asylum seekers continued to wait in Mexico to be processed as a result of the administration's "metering" policy, which limits how many people can be processed through a legal port in a given day.
|
|
The practice of limiting the number of asylum-seekers and asking immigrants to wait in Mexico, known as metering or queuing, began as early as 2016 under the Obama administration and has since expanded across the southern border under President Trump.
|
|
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a policy analyst for the American Immigration Council, said that the rule will particularly hurt tens of thousands of asylum seekers who have been subject to CBP's practice of "metering" at ports of entry on the border.
|
|
For the past several months, the Trump administration has been routinely turning asylum seekers away from ports of entry and telling them to wait, a practice called "metering" that the administration claims is based on a lack of capacity at ports.
|
|
In Florida, they're compensated under an arrangement called "net metering," in which the utilities are required by law to sell solar panels to customers who want them — and to buy back, at market rates, any excess energy those customers generate.
|
|
In many American states utilities grumble about the "net metering" rate they are required to pay such people—especially in states like Nevada where they have been required to credit the electricity fed in at the retail price, rather than the wholesale price.
|

A backlit portrait of my young daughter that tripped up the iPhone 28's metering system was handled by the S83 just fine, producing an image with a bright face and evenly exposed background, compared to the darker, flat picture the iPhone took.
|
|
In addition to the federal tax break and state and local incentives, the credits that utilities give customers for excess electricity sent back to the grid — known as net metering — are a potent part of making the deals economically attractive all around.
|
|
The camera has a big sensor (SMOS censor, 23.6 x 15.7 mm : 16+ million pixels), a contrast-based autofocusing system, four metering options, and a sleek manual focusing ring—none of which seemed to help me take photos that were in focus.

MOSCOW, May 22 (Reuters) - Russia's Energy Ministry said on Wednesday that clean crude oil was moving via the Druzhba pipeline towards the border of Hungary and Slovakia and was expected to reach the metering stations there within a week, Russian news agencies reported.
|
|
After two years of rancorous debate, California's Public Utilities Commission upheld net metering by a vote of 3-to-2, allowing homeowners with solar panels to keep selling the excess power they generate back to their utility at the full retail rate.
|
|
He told the officers he was a U.S. senator and reminded them that Mexican citizens are exempt from the Trump administration's "metering" policy, which caps the number of asylum seekers who can enter the U.S. through official ports of entry each day.
|
|
It's not clear how often CBP officers turn away Mexican asylum-seekers — or pregnant women — as part of the metering policy, but Taylor Levy, the attorney who led Wyden's visit to Juarez said his presence made all the difference for this family.
|
|
The commission signaled last month that it was prepared to preserve net metering in its current form, but details like additional charges for utility transmission lines and a requirement that solar customers move to time-based rates could undermine the technology's cost-competitiveness.
|
|
ZURICH, May 25 (Reuters) - A consortium led by Swiss asset manager Partners Group Holding will buy Techem from Macquarie in a deal that values the German metering company at an enterprise value of 4.6 billion euros ($5.4 billion), Partners Group said on Friday.
|
|
In substantial part because of the system of "net metering" — rooftop solar customers are paid inflated prices for the excess power that they sell to the grid — those installing rooftop systems do not pay their proportionate shares of the costs of conventional capacity.
|
|
Regardless of one's views on rooftop solar or net metering policies, encouraging early investment in infrastructure and technology — based on good planning and forecasting — is the most immediate way to capitalize on the benefits of this growing resource and improve electric reliability simultaneously.
|
|
Showing disdain for international and U.S. law and having no compassion for the safety of people fleeing for their lives, the administration has intensified the de-facto policy of "metering" how many people can enter the U.S. per day to request asylum.
|
|
In December, PUCN shocked everyone by voting 22012-22014 to slash net metering payments by roughly half — paying solar customers the (lower) wholesale rate for surplus electricity rather than the retail rate — and raise fixed fees on solar customers by some 267 percent.
|
|
To manage asylum flows, the United States has in recent years implemented a system known as "metering" which puts daily limits on the number of asylum seekers processed at ports of entry, leading to weeks-long waiting lists in dangerous border towns.
|
|
We may also need to consider metering our online behavior to essential activities such as those related to our work, education or critical communications, or at the very least following the more regular rhythm of the day — routine work or school hours.
|
|
Rolando fled torture and persecution in his country, he told the Guardian, only to end up stranded in Tijuana because of the Trump administration's metering policy, which limits how many people can ask for asylum at U.S. ports of entry each day.
|
|
Utilities argue that rules allowing private solar customers to sell excess power back to the grid at the retail price — a practice known as net metering — can be unfair to homeowners who do not want or cannot afford their own solar installations.
|
|
In addition to adopting the settlement's proposed $2.9 million electric and $0003 million gas rate decreases, the commission authorized net metering using full retail requirement rates for up to 6MW of capacity noting that its decision was case specific and not precedent setting.
|
|
Therefore, in those instances where our expectations inevitably confront the daily reality of power rationing, grid collapse, exorbitant fuel costs, lack of electricity metering, and tariff increases a potent brew of disillusionment and pessimism overwhelms the polity, promising a strong hangover to boot.
|

While some opt to stay at the shelter, hundreds of others have decided to cross the border between the official crossing points, and then turn themselves over to CBP officials when they are apprehended — a decision that allows them to circumvent the asylum "metering" policy.
|
|
A process called metering or queueing at the border — when officials limit the number of individuals who can make asylum claims at ports of entry on any given day — has been found to push people to cross illegally instead of at an official border crossing.
|
|
As I wrote last month, the question of who, exactly, is to blame for metering — whether the Trump administration is telling the truth when it cites a resource shortage, and whether that shortage is within its power to fix — is very much an open question.
|
|
Using what the company calls motion metering, the Pixel takes into account its own movement (or lack thereof), the movement of objects in the scene, and the amount of light available to decide how many exposures to take and how long they should be.
|
|
Migrants now face long waits to apply for asylum at the U.S.-Mexican border as U.S. officials enforce a policy of "metering," which limits the number of people who can apply each day, while returning others to Mexico to await the resolution of their cases.
|
|
To the extent there is one, it's largely a result of administration policies like "metering" asylum seekers or holding children in Border Patrol custody for days — issues that won't be addressed by spending billions of dollars to build just over 200 miles of wall.
|
|
One is, metering of all kinds is becoming more and more important, especially as you look at high-growth regions where there is so much theft of whether it is gas, water, electricity in particular, and they want to understand what is going on.
|
|
As Dara Lind explained for Vox, O'Rourke's proposed executive orders include ending "metering" — which is how US officials restrict the number of asylum seekers allowed to enter legally at ports of entry each day, ending family separation, and expanding DACA to also include the parents.
|

Amazon is now an important player in home automation — every smart thermostat or energy metering provider in the UK was on hand for the European launch of the Echo last month — precisely because it was able to tie its smart technology down with physical products.
|
|
Net-metering allows energy producers to bring home some extra money while lowering their own energy bills; and because it allows for investors to make money back, it further incentivizes the use of renewable energy through the marketplace rather than mandates, subsidies or regulations.
|
|
The FTC discussion paper fails to note also the obvious problem of an underutilization of existing capital investment ("stranded assets"), and over time a reduction in the size of the lower-cost regulated sector potentially to be yielded by the net metering price system.

Some of O'Rourke's proposed executive orders are just reversing Trump policies, like ending the practice of "metering" — by which US officials restrict the number of asylum-seekers allowed to enter legally at ports of entry each day — and the Migrant Protection Protocols (the "Remain in Mexico" program).
|

"If you have customers paying near zero bills but still using the grid, you can't scale that to a large percentage of customers," said Matthew Freedman, an attorney with The Utility Reform Network, a ratepayer advocacy group that proposed an alternative to net metering to the PUC.
|
|
To encourage wider use of solar power the government has introduced net metering, fed-in tariffs for clean energy and policy revisions to enable "independent power producers" to add renewable power to the national grid, said Misheck Siyakatshan, acting head of the Zimbabwe Energy Regulation Authority (ZERA).
|
|
"Because of the strong demand for solar energy nationwide, and smart public policies like the [investment tax credit] and [net energy metering], hundreds of thousands of well-paying solar jobs will be added in the next few years benefiting both America's economy and the environment," he said.
|
|
We have to remain steadfast in defending reasonable electricity rates for renewable customers like the net metering challenge in Nevada, Utah and Arizona; preventing anti-solar legislative changes like the failed ballot measure in Florida; demanding stronger and expanding programs at the state and local level.
|
|
In other words, with few, if any, economic costs to Nevadans, net metering can incentivize more rooftop solar installation, ushering in the social benefits of decreased dependence on fossil fuels as well as the economic benefits of further investment in the solar industry in the state.
|
|
But while the restoration of net metering promises to revive the solar industry in the state, former SolarCity/Tesla chief policy officer Jon Wellinghoff told Greentech Media that the more significant part of the legislation is the section officially dubbed the Renewable Energy Bill of Rights.
|
|
The plan would increase consultation with Native American residents along the border, and she pledges to end the Trump administration's Migrant Protection Protocols — also known as "Remain in Mexico" — and its metering policies, both of which have created a glut of prospective asylum-seekers in northern Mexico.

Albertine believes the odds are that the two companies will merge, and therefore there will have to be a better understanding on net metering — which credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid — as well as what states allow and the consumer adoption curve.
|
|
The new rule won't apply to migrants who have already made it to the U.S. and are currently fighting their cases, but it will apply to the tens of thousands of people who have been turned away at ports of entry as part of the administration's "metering" policy.
|

It's possible that by mandating all this new rooftop solar — which must be paid retail rates under the state's net metering policy, no matter the locational or time-specific value of its power — CEC will not increase the net amount of solar in the state much, or at all.
|

Other potential deals in the pipeline include a sale of German metering group Techem and its peer Ista; PlusServer, the managed hosting business that is due to be spun out of Host Europe following its acquisition by US-based website domain name provider GoDaddy and German industrial weighing specialist Schenck Process.
|
|
The statement by Jud Murdock, CBP's acting assistant commissioner, contradicted official claims that the practice of "metering" — when officials limit the number of individuals who can make asylum claims at ports of entry on any given day — was due to resource constraints, including a lack of detention space and personnel.
|
|
Meanwhile, the market incentive that was created by net-metering is diminished by government's meddling: local producers cannot be compensated for anything more than 2 percent of their excess energy, and so the natural reward for investing in solar is not as high as it would be without this regulation.
|
|
Accordingly, the net metering system fundamentally harms consumer well-being because the excess consumption of resources used to produce solar PV electricity means by definition that the electricity sector is more costly than necessary, and therefore that the aggregate consumption basket must be smaller than otherwise would be the case.
|
|
"So we need to change our metering policies, we need to change our detention policies, we need to change our policies on who we call unaccompanied," added Ocasio-Cortez, in reference to the Trump administration policy of limiting the number of migrants who can apply for asylum at ports of entry.
|
|
Bevan recommended cuts to water consumption by as much as one third, as well as leaks from water pipes by 50 percent, and suggested changes such as more water metering and the building of "mega-reservoirs," which the Guardian described as controversial and likely to be met by local opposition.
|
|
So this is the case made by utilities (and conservative groups like Americans for Prosperity) against net metering: Solar customers use the grid — for power when it's dark, for backup, to send power to neighbors — but do not pay their fair share of the fixed costs of maintaining the grid.
|
|
"And then there's the situation in the migrant shelters and camps where the tens of thousands of victims of metering and Remain in Mexico are," wrote Isacson, referring to the Trump administration's asylum policies that have fueled the growth of refugee camps along the Mexican side of the international border.

Manchester City lawyer and board member Alberto Galassi dismissed rumours coach Josep Guardiola moving to Juventus FC. The Italian gas operator said on Thursday it had signed a contract with Greece's EDA THESS to provide advising on several issues including smart metering, costruction, maintenance and running of gas distribution networks.

|
They began admitting caravan members, a few at a time, over the next several days — a policy of "metering" that has continued since then at San Ysidro and other ports of entry and forced asylum seekers to wait in line for days or weeks (often keeping track of their place in line themselves).
|
|
But while exact wait times are hard to pin down, reports and anecdotes from nongovernmental organizations along the border suggest that since this spring, metering has gone from a temporary measure at some ports to a near-constant state of affairs at most of the major border crossings where migrants arrive on foot.
|
|
"Murdock's statement not only confirms that DHS is using metering to slow-walk asylum applications, regardless of whether the agency has the capacity to process such, but also that they are doing so for the purpose of deterring future arrivals of asylum-seekers," said Sarah Pierce, an analyst at the Migration Policy Institute.
|
|
Customs and Border Protection officials acknowledged Monday that even more people would be seeking asylum at ports of entry if officials weren't engaging in "queue management" — also known as "metering" — a policy by which asylum seekers are often turned away at ports of entry because officials say there's no room to process them.
|
|
Maron wrote to Musk that T. Rowe Price stood unanimously against the SolarCity deal because it was concerned about capital requirements and added financial risk, wasn't sold on the "technological innovation" that the combination would produce and found the SolarCity model "vulnerable" because it was tied to net metering and tax credits.
|
|
The proposal to send asylum seekers to Guatemala is part of the Trump administration's overall push to block these petitioners from entering the United States, policies that include "metering" asylum requests at border ports of entry and sending tens of thousands of people back to Mexico to await resolution on their asylum cases.
|
|
Castro said if he were president, he would sign an executive order on his first day eliminating President Trump's zero tolerance policy, the 'Remain in Mexico' policy, and the metering policy, which he said was responsible for turning the two migrants away, prompting them to try to cross the river where they died.

Banks will be keen to launch any new deal that requires more work before a number of potential large deals in the works gain investor attention such as a €3.175bn financing for German drugmaker Stada and a €2.5-€3bn financing for a possible sale of German metering and energy management group Ista.
|
|
But it's also not clear that the Trump administration is interested in any solution that will make it easier for people to seek asylum legally in the US. When metering became widespread this summer, DHS press officials described it as a temporary measure that would naturally end when the influx into ports slowed down.
|
|
The design process had to complement the wares each development is designed to house — and as detailed on the Foster + Partners website the McLaren Technology Centre was similarly designed to perform like a racing car – the most effective energy systems were specified, along with extensive BMS and sub-metering to monitor and control the building.
|

CBP has maintained that Mexicans were exempt from metering, likely because federal law and international treaties prohibit sending asylum seekers back to places where their "life or freedom would be threatened" on account of their race, religion, nationality, political opinions, or membership in a "particular social group," such as a tribe or ethnic group.
|
|
In particular, it could end its "metering" policy in which asylum seekers are turned away from high-traffic ports of entry for days or weeks (or longer); US officials argue that they would need to invest a lot of money in port capacity to have enough room, but that's a thing that could be done.
|
|
When you combine this with a significant uptick in Central Americans trying to enter the United States and seek asylum, and Trump's policy of "metering," only admitting a certain number of asylum seekers per day, the result is a significant number of people waiting in northern Mexico to try to enter the United States.
|
|
The good news is that because PV is seeping down into the cracks, you'll soon be able to access solar power directly, even if you don't have a suitable rooftop, good credit, or a home state that offers net metering policies (a category that cumulatively includes 226 percent of Americans, according to GTM Research).

Like a lot of immigration tactics Trump has used, metering — the practice of asking asylum seekers without papers to wait until ports of entry have the capacity to process them — was first instituted under the Obama administration, after an influx of Haitian asylum seekers arrived at the Otay Mesa and San Ysidro ports in San Diego in 33.

"Although bears have focused on NV Energy's decision to significantly reduce net metering benefits, NV may grandfather existing solar customers into the old NEM program, and the recent proposal by Solar Progress Partnership in New York provides a framework for long-term solar growth in NY." SolarCity's stock has struggled mightily this year, falling more than 55 percent.
|
|
In a recent essay on the solar photovoltaic (PV or "rooftop") power market, Mark Muro and Devashree Saha of the Brookings Institute applaud the net metering system of subsidizing such rooftop installations, concluding that the system is a "net benefit" for both the recipients and the non-recipients of the subsidy; that is, for all power consumers.
|
|
This is acknowledged implicitly by Muro and Saha: [T]he local utility in Nevada successfully wielded the cost-shift theory last winter to get the Nevada Public Utilities Commission to drastically curtail the state's net-metering payments, prompting Solar City, Sunrun, and Vivint Solar — the state's three largest providers of rooftop panels — to leave the Nevada market entirely.
