As a rooftop solar customer, you need to know the Arizona legislature is considering two bills that could cost you money and retroactively change policies impacting rooftop solar. Please take action now to tell the Governor and state legislature to protect your investment and not to pass laws changing the rules of the game!

HB2248 and SB1175 contain dangerous provisions that might require the Arizona Corporation Commission to change the longstanding rules for existing rooftop solar customers. These bills are in the final stages of review at the legislature and immediate action is needed to tell legislators to protect your investment and not to change the rules of the game. 

The legislation tells the Corporation Commission that it is prohibited from enforcing any policies, rules, or decisions that even just “indirectly” impact carbon emissions. Your use of rooftop solar reduces the amount of carbon emitted from fossil fuel generation sources thereby reducing carbon emissions. This means the Commission could be stopped from enforcing key policies that support the continued use of rooftop solar because of how our solar impacts carbon emissions. The state should not be changing the rules and should protect Arizonans that relied on existing rules, policies, and decisions.

The Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) is an elected, five-member board. It sets rules for our state’s electric system. Commissioners are considering expanding Arizona’s Renewable Energy Standard and Tariff (REST) to 100% carbon free electricity by 2050. Under the current REST, only 15% of the electricity sold in the state must come from renewable energy sources by 2025. 

This is a huge opportunity for the state to transition to a clean energy future. The 100% standard will deliver broad economic benefits. It will drive new investment in the state. 

These clean energy rules include a first-of-its-kind distributed energy storage target. They also include a strong energy efficiency standard and a more transparent utility planning processes. 

If Commissioners adopt this proposal, it would be a tremendous milestone for the state. And it would be an important step toward addressing the climate crisis.

Local, rooftop solar should play a significant role in achieving this goal. Rooftop solar helps make our grid more resilient. It allows families to take control of their energy bills by making choices that best suit their needs. The Commission needs to hear strong public support for the 100% carbon free goal. This will ensure this new plan supports local resilient clean energy solutions, like rooftop solar.
