To the editor: I used to be shocked to study concerning the Demand Facet Grid Help program (“Sacramento should save the program that is saving the grid,” Aug. 25). I’ve had photo voltaic panels with batteries for a couple of years now, at present beneath the NEM 2.0 program, and use my batteries to attenuate my use of the grid at peak instances (and to realize a better credit score for photo voltaic produced at peak instances). However, I had by no means heard of this system both from my supplier, Southern California Edison, or from my Enphase app.
However, to be sincere, I wouldn’t take part anyway. I’ve tried letting Edison management my good thermostat and my electrical automobile charger, and each impacted my high quality of life sufficient that I unenrolled within the packages. Additional, primarily based on the Legislature’s lack of help for residential photo voltaic (by the disastrous insurance policies of the Public Utilities Fee), I now not belief it or the electrical energy suppliers to do something that advantages customers equivalent to myself. Actual-world options are what are wanted they usually received’t come from {the electrical} suppliers or the politicians of their pockets.
