CPUC proposes revising Net Energy Metering rules to push customers to install storage with rooftop solar

Green Car Congress

Now that California has nearly 25 gigawatts (GW) of solar on its grid, needs have shifted, according to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). It is now essential to address grid reliability shortfalls during “net peak” hours in the early evening when the sun is down and the grid has to rely on fossil fuels to meet demand.
