SACRAMENTO, Calif. — This week the California Public Utilities Fee (CPUC) issued a proposed determination that rejects a plan to bolster the state’s group photo voltaic market and as a substitute approves a utility-backed different.
Following is a press release from Stephanie Doyle, California State Affairs Director for the Photo voltaic Vitality Industries Affiliation (SEIA):
“It is a vital misstep in a string of head scratching CPUC selections which might be crushing California’s clear power progress and stopping 1000’s of households from accessing the advantages of photo voltaic power. The state legislature made it clear in passing AB 2316 that it needs a strong program to offer group photo voltaic to low-income Californians and to assist grid resilience for all ratepayers. This proposed determination, if adopted, will hurt these efforts and threat California lacking out on essential federal funding by approving a utility-backed different that’s unlikely to be commercially viable.
“The photo voltaic and storage business is shocked by the CPUC’s obvious dedication to disclaim a chance to take a step ahead as a group photo voltaic chief. We proceed to evaluation the proposed determination and can preserve working towards options that ship the clear power that Californians are demanding.”
