March 16, 2016 (San Diego) – Elected officials, environmental groups and solar advocates plan to hold a rally from 2. p.m. to 2 :30 today in front of SDG&E’s corporate campus at 8326 Century Park Court, San Diego to oppose SDG&E use of ratepayers’ funds to attempt to influence the CPUC over solar net metering.
The California Public Utilities Commission issued a decision on solar net metering that solar advocates say was a compromise for both the solar industry and utilities. Rally organizers say they aim to take a stand against “greed” and in support of the Commission’s decision.
Speakers will include:
- Supervisor Dianne Jacob, San Diego County Board of Supervisors, District 2
- Alejandro Montes, student member, Sierra Club
- Nicole Capretz, founder and president, Climate Action Campaign
- Daniel Sullivan, founder and president, Sullivan Solar Power
- Alby Quinlan, solar homeowner and member, SanDiego350.org
East County Magazine asked SDG&E for a response but did not receive comments by press deadline.
