Fix the Cost Shift coalition launches campaign to save Californians money on skyrocketing electricity bills
AB 942 could save ten million Californians up to $1.3 billion on their electricity bills next year alone by fixing outdated solar subsidy that benefits wealthier homeowners at the expense of lower-income Californians
Today,Fix the Cost Shift- a coalition representing nearly 2 million workers and businesses across California – launched a campaign to reform the state's outdated Net Energy Metering (NEM) program. The coalition, comprising labor unions, business associations, and community advocates, aims to address the unfair cost burden currently affecting millions of California households.

This outdated NEM system, which was first created in 1995, shifted$8.5 billion in extra coststo non-solar customers last year alone. These subsidies benefit 1.6 million rooftop solar customers while over 10 million non-solar customers – many of whom arelower-income, renters, and disadvantaged communities- pay the difference.
AB 942would modernize this system andsave 10 million Californians throughout the state up to $1.3 billion on their electricity bills next yearandupwards of $58 billion from 2026 to 2043. This legislation would save Californians the most money of proposed measures in the Legislature this year.
