Households served by the three large investor-owned utilities — Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric —14% more electricity generation capacity than the prior year.

Households that signed up for solar prior to April 15, 2023, are still under NEM 2.0. However, systems permitted since then are covered under the new policy, “NEM 3.0.” They receive a much lower rate for their exports, but these households still save the full retail rate when they use their solar power onsite.
