Public Utilities Commission proposal stalls in the face of blistering criticism from thousands of solar panel owners.
Regulators want to destroy rooftop solar to protect the obscene profits of utility companies, one side charges.
The California Public Utilities Commission, which regulates electric rates, has been working for years on aIts proposal to make the system more fair for all was released last month and slated for final approval on Jan. 27. But after thousands of blistering comments poured in from rooftop solar owners and the governor cast a stink eye at the proposal, it’s officially off the PUC’s Thursday agenda.
The battle may get even more intense: Those who want to protect the old rules have filed ballot initiatives with the Attorney General’s Office.of 2022 were filed Jan. 14 by Los Angeles attorney Philip R. Recht of Mayer Brown. It costs some $2 million to get an initiative on the ballot these days. Recht did not return requests for comment about who is funding the effort.There are about 13.2 million households in California, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
That amounts to robbing the poor to pay the rich, and that’s what the proposal attempted to address, proponents argue.The PUC’s public advocate — a quasi-independent, in-house Solomon the Wise charged with protecting consumers — said that fairness requires change. Instead, it favored a new rate system that would foster sustainable growth for solar while equitably benefiting all customers.
