iPower Energy Group asks Governor Newsom to stand up and save solar in California

MURRIETA, Calif., Jan. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- iPower Energy Group, an energy service provider of home solar, battery backup storage, and a progressive advocate of clean energy, announced today that the company is calling on Governor Newsom to save California solar. #SaveSolar

According to the Solar Rights Alliance, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is proposing to make rooftop solar and battery backup storage more expensive with a $57 per month solar penalty fee. The company is urging Governor Newsom to take action, step in and do the right thing for solar jobs and solar customers in California. #SaveSolar

"The more solar panels, the larger the fee," says Jule Hall, CEO of iPower Energy. "The proposal introduces the largest solar-only fee in America and would dramatically slow the deployment of clean energy in California and put rooftop solar and battery storage out of reach for many families." #SaveSolar

California has long been a solar energy leader, showing the rest of the world what forward-thinking progress looks like. The CPUC's proposal puts over 60,000 jobs at risk and would deal a major blow to the California solar and battery storage market.

Hall continued, "This is a utility profit grab. This proposal only benefits the investor owned utilities. If Governor Newsom wants to maintain his position as a clean energy leader, the governor needs to step in before these changes are finalized on January 27th and go into effect this spring."
