SUMMARY
The California Public Utilities Commission Board (CPUC) issued a proposed decision (PD) that threatens access to net energy metering and rooftop-scale solar and storage by homeowners and tenants alike. The CPUC could vote on the PD as early as January 27, 2022. If the PD is approved, it would make it extremely difficult for Hayward and California to meet adopted climate action and equity goals.
