Solar power: We must get it right
We've been a leader in solar power for decades, including investing $250 million to support customer adoption of rooftop solar. But the current way we’re paying solar customers comes at a cost to all other customers.
The results of an independent study show we're paying solar customers almost twice the value of their excess generation in our service area.
We want a solution that's fair to equitable for all our customers.
