The California Solar & Storage Association (CALSSA) has filed a complaint with the California Public Utilities Commission. The filing sought a $10 million fine against Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison for repeated delays in solar project approvals. CALSSA said the utilities have failed to meet mandated timelines for reviewing solar and battery interconnection applications. These delays have raised costs for solar customers who must wait to activate their systems. In 2020, the commission required utilities to meet review deadlines for 95% of solar projects and submit quarterly reports. Reported compliance since then has ranged from 27%–45% for some steps and 53%–81% for others. CALSSA said the complaint is expected to be reviewed by an administrative law judge in the coming months.
