At a recent hearing, rooftop solar advocates challenged the narrative that solar power imposes costs on non-solar customers, arguing instead that it saves them approximately $1.5 billion yearly. They attribute California's high electricity rates not to solar but to the excessive spending of investor-owned utilities, calling for a focus on controlling utility costs. This conversation comes amidst California's alarming electricity rates, which are the highest in the country, illustrating a critical need to reassess the state's energy pricing and utility practices.
Rooftop solar doesn't cost other customers money; it actually saves them money. The real force behind our soaring electricity rates is rapacious utility companies and their excessive spending.
Solar advocates argue that rooftop solar is scapegoated and that it actually saves non-solar customers approximately $1.5 billion annually by reducing the need for expensive utility infrastructure.
