Uncertainty of renewable energy incentives a challenge for Missouri solar companies

Uncertainty of renewable energy incentives a challenge for Missouri solar companies

Can't trust Ameren on this one, they pulled the rebate program to stall solar's growth:

"Between 2010 and 2014, Missouri's program gave consumers a $2 per watt rebate to help recover the cost of installing solar energy systems, financed by AmerenMissouri and Kansas City Power & Light. Both investor-owned utilities were required by state law to get 2 percent of their power from solar energy, unless those changes would hike customer rates by more than 1 percent. In 2013 and 2014, the two announced they had hit that 1 percent mark, and ended the programs."
