Solar power in Mississippi on rooftops can provide 22% of all electricity used in Mississippi.[1] Mississippi is one of only two states, along with Florida, to have no potential for wind power, having no locations that would provide at least 30% capacity factor, although 30,000 MW of 100 meter high turbines would operate at 25% capacity factor.[2]
Offering net metering is required by federal law, but Mississippi is one of only four states to not have adopted a statewide policy on net metering, which means it needs to be negotiated with the utility.[3][4]
