Southern California Edison Now Charging Solar Customers $10/month Fee @sce

There is an increase in your Edison bill if you have solar. They now charge a minimum of $10 a month. that $120 is an increase , some sort of hazily named Mumbo jumbo ,that does not apply to your actual usage bill.

Apparently it doesn’t matter if you have or are installing solar, but you will be paying this fee if you have solar
installed.

This minimum fee applies to all customers. But for those that have solar and are paying less than $10.00 – they will have to pay a minimum of $10.00.

Apparently this was approved by the PUC recently and the utilities like Edison are implementing the charges.

There was some talk of a $100 fee. read here

SCE takes 5 to 7 wks to allow cstmr to switch on newly instld solar & now asks PUC for $30/mo mntnc fee.

what about the reported “Solar Tax” proposed to the PUC? Why impose a fee for infrastructure when solar lowers stress on power plants?

I am so glad to live in a municipal services city, where there is not some corporation trying to boost their profits and line their pockets.

Solar is not going away, and the utilities could be in big trouble as battery technology improves.  Also, the future of home based power generation is not a futuristic pipe-dream it is closer than most people realize.  Will it be in the form of solar and wind or some other fuel based power generation. It seems that a hybrid approach is the preferred approach to power generation and storage.  Batteries play a key role.
