California is a solar state where the sun belongs to everyone. Popular policies like net metering are helping millions of middle and working class Californians tap into the sun’s power to save money and clean up our air.
Big utilities like SDG&E see solar as competition and are lobbying state officials to make it more expensive for everyday people to get solar. On November 10th, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) proposed to drastically reduce the credit new solar users would receive for selling excess power back to the grid.
If adopted at their scheduled meeting on December 15th, the CPUC's proposal will cut the growth of solar in half and shut millions of working Californians out of the benefits of rooftop solar and batteries. It will also make it harder or impossible for churches, nonprofits, and other community organizations to install on-site solar.
This is a big utility profit grab at the expense of the public and planet that is out of step with California’s clean energy goals. We are asking Governor Newsom to support rooftop solar for the public and stop the utility profit grab.
Solar supporters and climate activists are rallying statewide, Thursday, December 1, at 11am, to put the CPUC on notice that they can't kill solar in California without a fight!
We encourage you to make and bring a sign! Some slogan ideas:
- No Solar Cliff!
- Don’t Cut Solar 75%!
- Keep Rooftop Solar Growing!
