The staff of the Arizona Corporation Commission is for now opposing a proposal by Tucson Electric Power Co. that would increase costs for customers who install rooftop solar systems.
The commission’s Utilities Division says consideration of TEP’s proposal to alter its so-called “net metering” rules should wait until the utility’s next formal rate case.
The staff argued its position at a hearing before a Corporation Commission administrative law judge this week in Tucson. The judge will make a recommendation to the full commission, which will likely consider the matter this summer.
