How PG&E and other California utilities are trying to kill rooftop solar!
How you can help: Make a public comment at an upcoming CPUC. Or write a letter via email to the CPUC. We have fact sheets and instructions how to make a public comment or letter. If interested contact me at [email protected]On one side: Current and future rooftop solar consumers in the nation’s leading solar state. On the other, the state’s big three investor-owned utilities — PG&E, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric.
The utilities have petitioned the state Public Utilities Commission to slash by more than half the credit they must pay customers for excess energy generated by rooftop solar panels. They also want to charge new rooftop solar customers nearly $70 a month just to hook up to the grid.
The PUC will hold hearings on this petition beginning July 26. The final decision, due by the end of the year, could cost solar ratepayers millions, essentially destroying the rooftop solar market in California.
