One of the issues we are facing at our next Public Utilities Board (PUB) meeting is how to fairly pay rooftop solar customers for the excess energy they send to the grid. In Alameda, about 350 people have rooftop solar on their homes, representing about 1 percent of Alameda Municipal Power’s (AMP) 35,000 customers. It’s a complicated issue, and one that affects all Alamedans who pay an electric bill.
