Changes won’t affect current system owners, and will either tank the industry or push it toward ‘thriving’ battery storage.
Despite hours of excoriating tirades — Are you theUtilities Commission? Why are you propping up greedy “serial killer utilities” and rewarding their murderous negligence? Don’t you realize this plan will completely destroy rooftop solar in California? — the California Public Utilities Commission unanimously approved a wildly controversial revamp to how future solar system owners will be billed and credited.
“What this decision does is take us into the future, by offering more support for solar systems paired with battery storage,” said Alice Reynolds, PUC president, at the contentious meeting on Thursday, Dec. 15. “We’ve had parties vigorously arguing their self-interest,” said Commissioner Clifford Rechtschaffen, from the utilities to the solar industry itself. “This is a responsible and forward-looking decision that balances many competing priorities.”
The cost shift that’s left in place totals roughly $4 billion a year, analyses show, bore by less-affluent consumers without rooftop solar who subsidize their wealthier solar neighbors.
