Not from California, what happened? Why was the program implemented and then scrapped?
The CPUC board, appointed by governer Newsom, gets to set the rules.
The utilities including PGE and So Cal Edison apparently own said governer.
Logic fail. Non sequitur
Human fail: no brain
Except how is this being pinned on newsome?
Gavin appoints the board. Board is corrupt. You do that math.
Meanwhile Gavin has big political aspirations so doesn't want to pick a fight with the utilities.
Also meanwhile, the world burns.
They decided to pay wholesale prices for electricity sold back to the grid instead of residential prices. That means that any excess power sold goes from around 33 cents to 6 cents, meaning that most people won’t see a change in their bills after installing solar because most households use power at night when there is no sun. This leads to people just not installing solar panels anymore.
