Following years of pressure, a report by the utility watchdog OfReg recommending how much customers should be paid for generating solar power for national use has been released more than two years after it was produced.
The Value of Solar Study (VOSS) was launched by OfReg in 2022 with the purpose of determining how much consumers should be paid for generating their own solar power, such as installing photovoltaic tiles on their roof, and selling it back to the power grid.
Announcing the launch of its VOSS study, OfReg said that it would provide “greater certainty” for consumers who were planning on investing in solar power generation.
However, while the report was completed in late 2022, OfReg has only just decided to release it, following a Freedom of Information request by James Whittaker, president of the Cayman Renewable Energy Association (CREA), and a subsequent complaint made by Whittaker to the Ombudsman.
