In January 2026, we hosted a survey to gather community input around residential solar generation. The responses will influence how potential solutions are evaluated as we work toward a revised proposal. We expect to share the results of the survey in March 2026.
Why we’re asking for your input
Today, about 10,000 customers have residential solar and exchange energy with our grid. Under current rates, the costs related to serving customers with solar are not fully reflected, which creates a growing cost shift between solar and non‑solar customers. Addressing this is important, but it must be done thoughtfully and with community input.
The survey was the first step in that process.
What happens next
- Jan. 30, 2026 - Customer survey closed
- March 2026 - Focus group discussions begin.
- Spring 2026 - Feedback shared with the Utilities Board and used to develop updated program options.
- Summer 2026 - Proposed net metering options presented to City Council.
We’ll continue to share updates and resources throughout the process.
