Elected officials and school leaders in Alameda County are calling on the state to block a controversial proposal that could prevent California schools from embracing solar power.

Critics say under the new proposal schools and other sites that have solar and more than one electricity meter would be required to sell the energy they produce back to their utility and then buy it back at a much higher rate.

What the heck CA?

    The CPUC did not respond to NBC Bay Area’s request for comment but has previously said the proposal is meant to enhance solar consumer protections and would only apply to future customers.

    I would be thrilled to hear the mental gymnastics used to get from “enhanced solar consumer protections” to “pay us for the energy you produced”.
