Bowing to pressure from solar advocates, the ACC has opened a broad hearing on the value of solar amid allegations that political donations to two commissioners may have tied them too closely to Arizona Public Service.
“The Commission determined that ratepayers deserve a full rate hearing before they impose any fees,” Court Rich, an attorney for The Alliance for Solar Choice (TASC), told PV Magazine. “The new docket will discuss the costs and the benefits of solar, which APS did not want to do. They only wanted to talk about costs.”
