Way too much corruption between the state officials, CPUC and the monopolized utility companies.

In reply to Luis. How can you say that? Since NEMS 3.0 hasn't been approved yet, we don't even know that there is any grandfathering for NEMS 2.0 customers. The utility companies certainly don't want that grandfathering.

In reply to Wade. "only" an extra $20k on top of the cost of your solar install for a couple lithium batteries... it's that $imple

In reply to Robert.

That is because they govern and regulate the private utilities which are investor owned, so you know there is a lot of lobbying involved and possibly corruption within the CPUC even though they are meant to regulate on behalf the public.

In reply to Robert.

California has the most sun hours compared to the majority of the country, and our rates for energy are so high that solar makes a lot of sense, and aside from the federal incentive, the incentive in itself is in the price you pay for solar vs the utility.

You will have until March 2023 to be installed and active to be grandfathered into NEM 2.0

You can’t go off grid in you live in a city, I believe only if you live in an agriculturally zoned federal area. I may be wrong though.

There is a set time limit the CPUC has to make a decision. Why not be transparent about the time limit which was posted to be January 3, 2023 (approximate)? There must be a lot of stock investors involved when things are hidden.

This is an example of corruption. Why can’t the CPUC just be honest about informing the public? California is at the bottom of the list of states where it pays to get solar (#14). Other states assist solar customers a lot more than Ca. gov. does.

Hi Kelsey

Thanks for keeping us up to speed re NEM 3 developments!

I have just signed up for solar but the company we selected is quite backed up.

Would you be able to estimate when the new NEM 3 will take effect assuming the CPUC announces a final decision in mid Nov?

Thanks

Dennis

“On October 11, the Solar Rights Alliance and other organizations will hold a rally at the steps of the state capital in Sacramento, calling on the CPUC and Newsom to reject the utilities’ plot.”

In a nutshell, there is the bottom line. The utilities want their Net Billing, they want to abrogate previous Net Metering, PPAs with the electric utilities and foist Net Billing on everyone with a solar PV array on thier roofs. They also want to tax the sun with the “proposal” of solar PV adopters (need) to pay a fee each month to connect them to the “grid”. Folks could end up paying from $32/month to $120/month grid connection fee, something that (only) benefits the electric utility and ignores the avoided cost to the utility that is not weighted for solar PV adopters, who represent local distributed energy generation resources. We shall see if groups like EWG and Ken Cook are capable of getting their own PAC and charging the CPUC, the three major IOU electric utilities, the Governor, the Supermajority under the RICO statutes for their extortion and usury of the public trust.
