Maritime Electric has introduced a cap of 30 kilowatts of generating capacity for new and existing customers through its net metering program. The change is about maintaining the quality of the electrical grid for everyone, says Maritime Electric spokeswoman Kim Griffin. Energy Minister Steven Myers said he's "disappointed and quite frustrated" Maritime Electric made the change without first consulting with government. Energy Minister Steven Myers is questioning whether Maritime Electric is a willing partner in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Maritime Electric said customers who want to sign up for net metering should call the company before purchasing equipment.
