A San Diego Solar Takeover — Episode 206 of Local Energy Rules

March 27, 2024

Local solar offers relief from exorbitant electric rates, but San Diego may need a different utility business model to see dramatic savings.

For this episode of the Local Energy Rules Podcast, host John Farrell is joined by Dorrie Bruggemann and Bill Powers, Campaign Coordinator and Campaign Chair of the Power San Diego ballot initiative. They discuss how a publicly-owned electric utility would be more supportive of distributed solar, offer lower rates thanks to that solar, and what it will take to bring the municipalization decision to San Diego voters.
