CPUC continues anti-distributed solar Crusade with devastation community press release and statement SEIA Solar
California has seen massive growth across its solar power sector — utility-scale solar, commercial solar, and residential solar have all boomed in the past decade plus. However, the utilities have been on a mission to squeeze out the little guys for years, and after, they have moved on to limiting growth of community solar — via their essentially captured regulatory commission, the California Public Utilities Commission .
“Today’s vote ignores calls from the solar industry, environmental justice organizations, customer advocates, and labor groups to create a workable program. It also puts into question the status of federal Solar for All funding, which is solely dedicated to expanding solar accessibility. This is a shocking decision from a Commission that is charged with protecting ratepayers and keeping electricity bills affordable.been a leader in the community solar realm.
It sounds like the CPUC was forced to move forward with something, but then gave it a half-hearted attempt with various flaws that would cripple California community solar in its crib.
