RS 3061 - Legislative findings
The legislature hereby finds and declares that:
(1) Net energy metering encourages the use of renewable energy resources and renewable energy technologies. Increasing the consumption of renewable energy resources promotes the wise use of Louisiana's natural energy resources to meet a growing energy demand, increases Louisiana's use of indigenous energy fuels and fosters investment in emerging renewable technologies to stimulate economic development and job creation in the state.
(2) Louisiana should actively encourage the manufacture of new technologies through promotion of emerging energy technologies. Net energy metering could help to further attract energy technology manufacturers, providing a foothold for these technologies in the Louisiana economy, and easier customer access to these technologies.
