Oppose TEP's
Anti-Solar Proposal!

About TEP's Proposal
Time is running out to speak out against TEP's attack on solar.
TEP wants to make solar on peoples’ homes and businesses much more costly by reducing the amount solar homeowners receive when they send (export) power to TEP, adding on new solar-specific monthly charges of at least $25/month, and increasing the customer and meter charges.
It’s a double whammy that will reduce access to solar for TEP customers.
Electric utilities have undertaken a coordinated attack on rooftop solar, which they see as a threat to their bottom line. A recent report found that these efforts are often rate based, forcing customers to foot the bill for lobbying against an innovative industry that has provided options to lower electricity bills.

The Solar Opportunity
Arizona families, schools, churches and businesses that make investments in rooftop solar provide a wide range of benefits to the economy and the grid. By generating power where it’s needed, rooftop solar reduces overall demand, the need for costly investments in new generation capacity, and electrical losses (Click to read more).
Rooftop solar is also a powerful jobs generator. Today, nearly 209,000 Americans work in solar. In 2016, one out of every 50 new jobs in the American economy was in solar.
In order to benefit from rooftop solar and attract job growth in the state, Arizona needs would support competitive energy choice, innovation, and fair solar policies -- not penalize solar customers.
