Rooftop solar users worry SDG&E will raise rates
What AB 327 does is allow the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to adjust the current rate structure, which is the same rate structure that's been in place since 2001. This gives the CPUC the authority to make the tiers for rate payers less progressive, in turn broadening the base for potential solar customers. Under the current structure, only a small fraction of energy users have a real incentive to go solar. Fixing the rates could prompt users who don't necessarily use a lot of energy, but have a lot of money, to consider solar. As for the monthly charge of $10/month, this goes towards maintaining the infrastructure needed to store and distribute solar energy. With this in mind, please consider learning more about AB 327 here: http://bit.ly/NRGpt— August 5, 2013 4:37 p.m.
