California AB942 addresses the cost shift caused by rooftop solar subsidies, affecting nonsolar ratepayers and utility bills.

California AB942 modifies the Public Utilities Code to address the cost shift caused by rooftop solar subsidies, which disproportionately affect nonsolar ratepayers. The bill aims to mitigate this inequity by evaluating programs funded by utility ratepayers. It introduces changes to the tariffs for new eligible customer-generators, effective January 1, 2026, and limits the credits for residential customers with annual electricity bills under $300. The bill also allows for the allocation of up to 15% of greenhouse gas allowance revenues for clean energy and energy efficiency projects.
