California regulators are in the process of revising the state’s incentives for rooftop solar installations and other small-scale renewables. The current incentives, known as “net energy metering,” compensate local producers for surplus energy fed back into the grid with a full retail credit, rather than a less-expensive wholesale or “avoided cost” rate.
Ratepayer advocates believe this full retail credit is a subsidy for wealthy homeowners who disproportionately have rooftop solar, while some environmental and solar groups argue they are a necessary tool to achieve California’s ambitious climate agenda and promote economic growth.
We’ll hear a debate tonight on the state’s approach to subsidizing this type of renewable energy tonight on State of the Bay at 6pm PT. Joining us will be:
- Severin Borenstein, Director of the Energy Institute at Haas School of Business
- Loretta Lynch, former President of the California Public Utilities Commission
