Solar Net Metering 3.0: A Fair "Successor Tariff" or Death?

A few years ago, the CPUC voted to adopt a Successor Tariff that preserves the core benefits of Net Metering - the retail compensation for each kilowatt-hour (kWh) produced by a small generator (PV, wind).  This was a big victory for the solar industry.  It's also important and welcome news for the many clean energy advocates, solar customers, and concerned citizens who weighed in to the CPUC - Thank You!
Unfortunately,  March 15 2021 rolled around and the Investor Owned Monopolies of California colluded together to kill all economic benefits to schools, water districts, hospitals, government property, landlords, renters and homeowners. If these monopolies prevail, kiss rooftop solar adios ... kiss your career in the distributed clean energy business goodbye ... and, kiss the global reputation of California as an environmental leader goodbye.
A robust solar industry is key to Community Choice Aggregation and environmental stewardship.  Net Energy Metering (NEM) has underpinned solar's growth since 1996.  Under NEM, a small generator is paid approximately the same for each kWh sent to the grid as consumed from the grid. Under NEM, owners of solar are justly compensated for the "Value of Solar" to the local grid, the environment, and to the local economy in solar industry jobs.

IS Anything Changing?  
Yes.  
  • New residential customers in SDG&E territory will pay $110.90 per month for the privilege of connecting a 10KW or 30 panel system.
  • A school, hospital or any other commercial customer in SDG&E territory will pay $7,670.00 per month to connect a 1 Megawatt solar system.
These are non-bypassable charges - it does not matter if you are or are not a Community Choice Aggregation customer according to the Investor Owned Monopolies.

What can you do?

- Let Governor Newsom know how you intend to vote if this becomes law.
- Donate to the San Diego Energy District providing our non-profit with more funds to fight this.
- Build a Net Metering 2.0 solar system before NEM 3.0 goes into effect.
