San Diego Union Tribune: Looming decision on new rooftop solar rules draws protesters in front of Sempra headquarters
Final decision by Public Utilities Commission has been on hold for months.
A proposed decision before California Public Utilities Commission that could dramatically change the financial rules for rooftop solar across the state drew about 75 protesters Tuesday in front of the headquarters of Sempra, the parent company of San Diego Gas & Electric.
“Because Sempra and SDG&E see rooftop solar as competition for them, they are trying to burn it to the ground,” Dave Rosenfeld, executive director of the Solar Rights Alliance, told the demonstrators, many wearing T-shirts and carrying signs that said “Don’t Tax The Sun.”
