AB 1139 “the Utility Profit Grab” is dead! 🎉This monster of a bill would have moved California backward in its efforts to transition to clean energy. It would have broken a promise to hundreds of thousands of solar consumers by adding new fees and reducing the credit they receive for excess energy sent back to the grid. It would have taken California from leading the nation in expanding solar in working- and middle-class neighborhoods to a solar unfriendly state where clean energy is accessible only to the rich. 🌞💪 keep on shining strong California!
There is pushback against a proposed California bill some say could upset the solar industry and cost jobs, but the bill's author says it levels the playing field.
