Regulators approved a proposal to overhaul California's rooftop solar power incentive program following a yearlong battle to determine the future of residential solar in the state.

Members of the California Public Utilities Commission voted 5-0 to approve"net energy metering" reforms on Thursday that change the rate and compensation structure for residential solar users who sell their excess energy back to the grid.

The reforms adopted Thursday were introduced last month in place of an earlier CPUC rulemaking announced last December that had proposed even more significant changes. They also argued the reforms would blunt progress toward the climate change goals shared by California's majority-Democratic government and President Joe Biden, which are built on an exponential increase in solar generating capacity.

CPUC President Alice Busching Reynolds said Thursday the reforms are"significantly more equitable than the status quo," adding that the current regime"harms renters, low-income residents, and disadvantaged communities who are disproportionately paying for other people's rooftop solar without receiving the benefits."CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
