California Supreme Court to Decide Fate of Cuts to Rooftop Solar Payments

  • On Tuesday night, California lawmakers approved Assembly Bill 942, which aims to modify the compensation structure for rooftop solar customers throughout the state.
  • The bill responds to rising electricity costs and concerns about cost shifts from solar to non-solar ratepayers but faces disagreement on its fairness and effects.
  • AB 942 would reduce electricity bills for 10 million Californians by $423 million in 2026, but would end grandfathered net metering rates for new owners of solar-equipped homes.
  • Opponents highlight that the bill breaks contractual promises, blames solar users unfairly, and may discourage solar adoption, as solar installations dropped 82% in 2023 after similar rate changes.
  • The bill’s passage could hinder California’s clean energy goals by reducing solar investments, while utilities’ high profits and overspending remain contested causes of high energy rates.
