Tucson Electric Power Co. must wait for its next full rate case to request changes that would cut savings for customers with rooftop solar arrays.
In the meantime, TEP can’t tell customers there’s a cutoff date when they may face higher bills, the Arizona Corporation Commission ruled Tuesday.
TEP’s proposal to cut the excess-energy credits it gives rooftop solar customers was formally withdrawn by TEP with the commission’s approval, after the agency’s staff and solar advocates opposed the move.
The net-metering issue will now be heard in a full rate case TEP plans to file by year’s end.
