Join Solar United Neighbors and the Clean Energy Equity Taskforce for an important press conference to discuss the Orlando Utility Commission's (OUC) proposed "PeakShift" program and its impact on our community. Why You Should Attend: Support Orlando's Renewable Energy Goals: Orlando aims to achieve 100% renewable energy citywide by 2050 and reduce electricity consumption by 20% from 2010 levels. Rooftop solar and energy efficiency are essential to meeting these targets, and we'll highlight why these measures are crucial. Protect Residents from Higher Energy Bills: OUC's proposed rate changes will increase energy costs, making it harder for residents to participate in federal energy programs and meet clean energy goals. Understand the Impact on Solar and Efficiency Investments: These rate changes could undermine the viability of solar and efficiency investments, potentially redirecting federal funds away from Orlando residents. Address Net Metering Concerns: Learn about the legal and ethical issues surrounding OUC's attempt to limit net metering, which could negatively affect solar adoption. Fight Unfair Fixed Charges: We'll discuss the new demand-based fixed charges that could penalize customers for occasional energy peaks, leading to higher fees for an entire year.
