The California Energy Commission, more or less on the fly, has decreed that beginning in 2020 all new single-family homes and low-rise multi-family residential projects must be built with rooftop solar panels.<\/a><\/p>\n

Although they would add perhaps $10,000 to the cost of a new home, the commission insists that solar arrays would pay for themselves in lower electric power bills while helping the state meet its greenhouse gas reduction goals.<\/p>\n

All good? Not necessarily.<\/p>\n

It has the feel of a political gesture, something that Gov. Jerry Brown and other politicians can tout as part of their \u201cresistance\u201d to President Donald Trump on climate change policy, and that Brown can crow about when he hosts a global climate conference next fall before vacating the governorship.<\/p>\n

Tellingly, the new decree is being sharply criticized by the state\u2019s leading energy experts, who \u2013 with perfect logic \u2013 complain that it\u2019s being done in haste without adequate notice and study, rather than part of a rational energy policy, and has potentially adverse impacts.<\/p>\n

Severin Borenstein, of UC-Berkeley\u2019s Energy Institute, wrote a letter<\/a> to the commission just before it acted this month, urging it to back off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI, along with the vast majority of energy economists, believe that residential rooftop solar is a much more expensive way to move toward renewable energy than larger solar and wind installations,\u201d Borenstein said.<\/p>\n

James Bushnell, director of the Energy Economics Program at UC-Davis, echoed Borenstein\u2019s criticism in a Sacramento Bee article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven at the utility-scale cost of 5 to 6 cents a kilowatt hour,\u201d Bushnell wrote, \u201cthere is growing concern that the massive commitment to solar in California is creating such a glut of mid-day electricity that prices during the day are plunging, and sometimes below zero. We are literally paying people to consume electricity during some midday hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThe Energy Commission mandate will pile even more expensive power onto that excess. Costs for society will go up, and the value received will go down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those are \u2013 or should be \u2013 devastating criticisms, and as Bushnell implies, there\u2019s even a greater potential negative effect on California\u2019s existing utilities.<\/p>\n

Even if every home in California were to have solar panels, we\u2019d still need the grid to provide power during the night, and to move power around the state as needed. A massive commitment to rooftop solar changes the economics of the utilities that maintain the grid.<\/p>\n

After the Energy Commission acted hastily, Moody\u2019s Investors Service issued a bulletin calling it a \u201ccredit negative for the state\u2019s utilities,\u201d and suggesting, as have other authorities, that utility rates on residences still getting their power from the grid will have to be raised to offset the loss of revenue from those generating their own energy.<\/p>\n

This is serious business, too serious to be done on a political whim.<\/p>\n

Having reliable and reasonably priced electric power is crucial, and shifting to solar, wind and other \u201crenewable\u201d sources for that power is difficult at best, due to the complex financial and technical aspects. Therefore, it needs to be done carefully and comprehensively.<\/p>\n

Two decades ago, we saw what happened when government officials arbitrarily decided to change California\u2019s electric power system, shifting to partial deregulation with promises of universal benefit.<\/p>\n

It was one of the greatest policy errors in the state\u2019s history, leading to the bankruptcy of one major utility and near-bankruptcy of another and saddling Californians with even higher power costs.<\/p>\n

The hastily drafted rooftop solar mandate has the potential for similarly adverse consequences, as the state\u2019s leading energy experts are trying to tell us.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
