Policy Updates

Policy pages explain rule changes, proposals, incentives, tariffs, and program decisions in plain language. Treat them as starting points: eligibility, application timing, utility territory, tax details, and local requirements can change the answer for a specific reader.

Questions this section helps answer

  • Is the rule proposed, authorized, delayed, or already active?
  • Which utility territory, state, country, or customer group is affected?
  • What dates and application steps matter?
  • Which official source should be confirmed before acting?

How to use these articles
