Former Edison executive Calderon, now a lawmaker, seeks to cut rooftop solar credits
Briefly

A proposed California bill, AB 942, threatens to limit rooftop solar energy credits to 10 years, halving the promised 20-year benefit. The bill, introduced by Assemblymember Lisa Calderon, aims to reduce electricity costs for non-solar customers. Critics, including rooftop solar owners like David Rynerson, express outrage, emphasizing the significant investments made in solar technology to promote sustainability. Despite Calderon's former ties to Edison International, she asserts the bill's intention is to lower overall energy costs, raising concerns about the support for renewable energy initiatives in the state.
"We're just trying to reduce our carbon footprint and you're penalizing me for that? That's just absurd." - David Rynerson, highlighting frustration over the proposed changes to solar energy credits.
"I introduced this bill with one goal in mind: to help lower the cost of energy for Californians," said Assemblymember Lisa Calderon, reflecting on her rationale for the bill.
