Yesterday the CPUC released their updated proposal for the future of solar yesterday. The bottom line: it’s still drastic and will make it harder for everyday people to get solar. Here are some initial details… #SaveSolar#KeepSolarGrowing
Most consumers who get solar after April 2023 will see an average 75% reduction in the credit they receive for sharing their extra energy with the grid. This is the steepest decline we’ve ever seen in the United States. #SaveSolar

Congress is close to making some important investments to help working people get rooftop solar & batteries. And @californiaPUC might undermine this gift by passing a #SolarTax and other changes that block working people from getting solar. #SaveSolar
This is crazy! And it's only happening because of the political power that @PGE4ME@SDGE@SCE have over the California state government. #SaveSolar

California needs more clean energy and we need it fast. In May CAISO — the state’s electricity grid operator — announced that California needs 1,500 to 2,000 more megawatts of electricity by 2026 to avoid more rolling blackouts. #SaveSolar

This is a good step, but the @californiapuc will undermine itself if they make it impossible for everyday people to reduce the burden on the grid with rooftop solar and batteries. #SaveSolar
Rooftop solar even w/out batteries significantly reduces the burden on the grid all the way to 6pm during the summer, well within the peak demand zone, as this chart from August 14, 2020 shows.

1/18 CBSMornings and @BRP1949, your story omitted some really important perspectives and data. Whether you intended to or not, the result is a one-sided story. #SaveSolar@GavinNewsom
2/18 Had @CBSMornings done even a little bit of research, you would have found that indeed, not only do solar users pay for the grid, but they actually make the grid cheaper for all ratepayers.
