Taking a moment to say: thank you. Your actions, your support, and your belief in a brighter energy future fuel everything we do. We’re proud of what we accomplished together — and energized for what’s ahead.
Defend Solar. Hold the CPUC Accountable.
@EWG is fighting to overturn the CPUC’s harmful NEM 3.0 decision—protecting consumer’s right to rooftop solar and demanding accountability from regulators.

Distributed solar CAN be cheaper than utility scale, especially if you count T&D costs.
Homes already have an interconnection, structure, etc.
Most of the world can do distributed solar for <$1/W, and in many cases <$0.5/W.
This is an interesting idea: rooftop solar can free up space on the grid for things like AI (or EVs and heat pumps while were are here). It completely undercuts the anti-rooftop disinformation campaign that the utilities have been waging for years. https://t.co/50QnUe5lgm
‼️ NEW: A new Sierra Club report shows that U.S. utilities are doubling down on expensive fossil fuels instead of investing in affordable, clean energy. Is your utility making you pay for pricey, dirty energy?

California can either keep paying for costly gas peaker plants, or fund Demand Side Grid Support (DSGS), America’s biggest virtual power plant. DSGS has provided clean backup power since 2022. Don’t let it end. Save DSGS! @ilike_mike@CAgovernor@CASpeakerRivas

The Trump administration wants to keep dirty, aging fossil fuel plants open past their prime. That could cost utility customers billions of dollars each year.

The Trump administration wants to roll back Solar for All funding just as states, tribes, and nonprofits were starting to use it to deploy low-cost solar power — and as the country looks for all the electricity it can get.

Could we serve data-center size demand with small scale resources? Yes, if we coordinate them in what are called distributed power plants! Get the scoop from Shannon Anderson, leading this work @SolarNeighbors: https://t.co/D5UZfEzA2T
@theamyheart Another reason why the clawback of Solar for All funds is so deeply misguided. Companies are proving how we can support an affordable, reliable clean grid with high penetrations of local solar.
The best time to plan for dispatchable, distributed power plants was 10 years ago. The second best time is today. The power of leveraging home-to-grid resources to build more affordable, flexible grid is being proven out across the country. At a time when we need it most.
The fact remains that solar panels remain the cheapest and most easily deployable technologies available to serve the ever-hungry U.S. power grid.
