Regulation of Solar Panel Production

555 N.Y.S.2d 24

N.Y.,1990.

April 26, 1990.

The Court of Appeals, Bellacosa, J., held that neither state statute nor federal regulations imposing minimum prices for purchase of electricity from alternate source and providing for incentive payments applied to contract entered into prior to their effective date (146 A.D.2d 422, 541 N.Y.S.2d 280,). (Ruling reversed**)

This case is important in regards to the research of the proposed question because the final ruling in this case contends that Congress has the power to regulate prices on electricity and alternate sources.
