California Public Utilities Commission

In the US state of California, among the world's largest photovoltaic markets and also without a doubt the biggest market for personal PV systems in the United States, the regulatory authority responsible for public utilities, California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), has actually made serious changes to the tariffs for tiny as well as medium-sized solar.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has actually with one voice accepted strategies to include greater than 25.5 GW of renewables as well as 15GW of storage in the state by 2032 at an expense of US$ 49 billion.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has actually made a decision to forever postpone its decision on controversial adjustments to the state's net metering laws, according to reports and a Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) statement.

Proposed net metering (NEM) rules in California that would certainly add a US$ 8/kW per month grid access fee for domestic solar systems have actually been described as "regressive as well as inaccessible with reality" by a NEM policy expert.

The California Independent System Operator has warned state regulators that there could be a 4.7 GW capacity shortfall in 2022, in the early evening hours of the annual peak demand events of September. The grid operator has suggested the alteration of water cooling laws, as well as increased procurement of resources.
