How convenient, right after they bribed their captive regulator to slash reimbursement rates for home solar, they force everyone to pay time of use electric rates.
PG&E is a criminal conspiracy.
Let’s not forget how will only buy electricity back at a variable yet, sell it at a static rate and keep the profit.
Also up charging a tax on selling electricity back into the grid for “use of their equipment”, which understandable i get but again c’mon.
The realistic progress needing to be done here is a battery storage solution as power needed during intense solar days is effectively 0% in California nowadays. We need to store that energy and use it during night but then it eats into PG&Es profits and we can’t have that can we?
Everything done under the guise of “progress” is helping a corporation somewhere.
Sounds to me like the best way to progress at this point would be to nationalize the utility and focus it on power generation and management rather than profit.
And IMO similar could be said about many things.
