Electrical District 3 customers going solar after July 1 will be paying more than their neighbors already using panels.
ED3 General Manager William Stacy said the company is changing its solar program due to “rate impact, system reliability and safety.”
ED3 will increase its fixed cost recovery charge from 70 cents to $3. The company will also limit new solar installations to 30 per month.
Comment by Rose Law Group Senior Partner Court Rich:
“It is truly disappointing that ED3 would propose such a draconian fee on customers that want to use solar to save money. I suspect the people of Maricopa who view their city as an example of a caring and special community will be disappointed to find out their hometown utility is adopting one of the most anti-solar policies in the entire United States.”
