The Turlock Irrigation District held a Solar Rate workshop on Nov. 18 explaining proposed rate changes to new solar customers and will hold a solar public rate hearing Dec. 2. The District is proposing seven new rate schedules for solar, in addition to both a demand charge and on/off energy peak charge; the rationale is that customers with no demand charge can lead to un-recouped costs. The goal is to move closer to charges that reflect cost of service.
