Environmental groups have dropped their lawsuit that sought to reinstate solar energy rebates for customers of utility Ameren Missouri.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1Lka4b7) reports that Missouri Coalition for the Environment and Save Our Lawfully Authorized Rebates LLC filed earlier this month to dismiss the Cole County lawsuit against the Missouri Public Service Commission.
The suit was filed last year and alleged that utilities were using a calculation that "significantly" understates the amount of solar rebates they are required to pay.
A recent Public Service Commission rule change on how the amount of rebates should be calculated prompted the groups to dismiss their lawsuit.
Paid for by the utilities, the rebates partially reimburse utility customers who install solar arrays on their property.
