If you look at birds on power lines in California, they can come to the chickens to roam the house.
A group of Democratic MPs are now supporting the law to reverse the state mandate required by investors to make the basis of electricity bills of their residential customers on domestic income.
This was the provision of Assembly Bill 205 in 2022, and many Democrats were now complaining about that they are the ones who voted for it. They say, now, that this relevant policy committees should have considered more than any hearing as part of the budget “trailer bill” than to escape.
“AB205 should have a very strong conversation,” said Assemblyvuman Jackie Irwin, de-Hazar Ox.
Nevertheless, at that time, Irwin and every other Democrat voted for AB 205 in the assembly and similarly all four democrats in the Senate. Republican quickly and often raised concerns, and was ignored.
AB205 removed the CAP at a fixed charge to be connected to the grid and requires the Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas and Electric and San Diego Gas and Electric, so that they can restructure the rates of charging their customers. The law makes utilities mandatory for “infrastructure” to charge fixed rates that are based on the customer’s domestic income, with three levels to ensure that low -income customers pay less than customers with high income. The cost for volumetric rates, the cost of electricity used will be slightly lower.
People from California who bought solar panel installation and enjoyed low electricity bills would pay a very certain fee to be connected to the grid.
The resistance of the scheme has been resisting since last April, when utilities released their proposed rates and levels. Now the California Public Utilities Commission is facing the July 1 deadline to take decisions to approve and implement the proposal. Utilities informed CPUC last year that they do not want any part of verifying the domestic income of their customers.
Chickens have not only come home to roast for MPs who refused to vote in case of chance, but also for the state’s climate-conscious mandate to infection for 100% carbon-free electricity by 2045, regardless of cost.
According to the 2021 joint report of the California Energy Commission, CPUC and Air Resource Board, the state will need to create “up to 6 GW of new Akshaya and storage resources” for 25 years. The report said, “Compared to the last decade, the state has made air of 1 GW utility solar and 300 MW (MW) every year.”
Who is going to pay for him? There are only two options: Ratpears and taxpayers. And they are the same people.
The cost of an infection for all electric vehicles and equipment, powered by 100% “clean” electricity, as the state defines it, is astronomical. California are already experiencing effects, with the rate of power from national average and growing.
Irwin’s assembly bill will repeal the provision in 1999 AB 205, requiring an income-graduate fixed fee and it will cap for all customers fixed charged at $ 10 ($ 5 for customers enrolled in the care program $ 5), with an annual adjustment that does not exceed the increase in the consumer price index for the previous year.
The cost of state policies has not yet been addressed.
