Rooftop solar users worry SDG&E will raise rates
Actually, SDGE is still fighting for the fixed fee. This is from a recent email alert from CALSEIA (the CA Solar Energy Industry Association): AB 327 (Perea) is an IOU-backed bill that would mandate a monthly charge of $10.00 per month (max) on all residential customers in IOU territories. That’s $120 per year out of ratepayers’ pockets no matter how energy efficient they are or how much they off-set with solar. "This policy moves California backward when it comes to our long-standing tradition of enacting policies that drive consumers toward conservation, efficiency and solar power," said Bernadette Del Chiaro, Executive Director of CALSEIA. "As ratepayers look at the bottom line on their bill, a fixed charge dampens the incentive for people to go solar or invest in energy efficiency."— August 1, 2013 8:48 a.m.
