Empire Electric Solar Rebate:
Finally after several years of battling to get Empire customers their legally required solar rebates, the Supreme Court has ruled that Empire Electric must begin paying solar rebates as required by a 2008 state-wide ballot initiative. Prop C – the Clean Energy Initiative, passed with 66% Missourian support.
If you live in Southwest Missouri near cities such as Joplin, Branson, Springfield, or Webb City you should take advantage of this excellent rebate program and purchase solar panels for your home or business.

More on the Court’s Solar Ruling:
In a 5-2 decision back in February the Missouri Supreme Court ruled against the Empire Electric territory and the ruling became final this week. The Court found the Missouri state legislature improperly preempted the people’s will by exempting the Empire District Electric from the ballot measure. They explained that “the legislature could not preemptively negate the effect of the initiative before it had even been voted on by the people and make the people’s later vote a meaningless act…”
