Taxpayers Urge CPUC to Address Vast Inequities in Solar Rate Structure

While the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has indefinitely postponed considering restructuring utility rates for solar customers, the San Diego County Taxpayers Association with numerous leaders in the LatinX community is calling for action.

On December 6, 2021 the Taxpayers Association released its study of NEM 2.0 and recommendations for NEM 3.0, which focused on accelerating corrections to the rate structure that burden lower income households, in general. In response to the Net Billing Tariff proposal released by the Commission on December 13th, the Association has since testified at CPUC public meetings urging such immediate action. Along with MANA de San Diego and the San Diego County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the San Diego County Taxpayers Association submitted a letter to the members of the CPUC on Thursday highlighting the inequities and calling for corrective action quickly.
