California utility regulators are set to vote on changes to the state's booming rooftop solar market.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California utility regulators are set to vote Thursday on changes to the state's booming rooftop solar market that they say will more evenly spread the cost of energy and help reduce reliance on fossil fuels in the evening.
The fight over changes to the program — directed by the state Legislature — has been controversial from the start, pitting the state’s three major utilities against the solar industry, with many environmental groups caught somewhere in between. A utility-backed coalition called Affordable Clean Energy for All estimates that $4 billion in costs are shifted from solar to nonsolar customers. The solar industry disputes that number, saying it doesn’t account for the benefits rooftop solar provides for everyone, like making the grid more resilient and reducing the need for utilities to build more costly legacy power equipment.
