 SAN FRANCISCO – Join clean energy leaders on a webinar on December 7 at 10 a.m. PST for a discussion of the calamitous decision, in April, of the California Public Utilities Commission, or CPUC, to gut the state’s rooftop solar incentives. That decision has now led to the loss of over 17,000 solar jobs in California, according to a new analysis by the California Solar and Storage Association (CALSSA), with more layoffs and bankruptcies likely by the end of the year. “The CPUC’s decision caused the nation’s largest-ever loss of clean energy jobs, pushing thriving businesses into bankruptcy and derailing California’s path to a clean energy future,” said Bernadette Del Chiaro, executive director of the California Solar and Storage Association. What: Webinar on the impacts of the once-booming solar industry in California following the CPUC’s gutting of rooftop solar incentives. When: Thursday December 7, 2023, 10 a.m. PST. Featuring: Bernadette Del Chiaro, California Solar and Storage Association executive director. Dave Rosenfeld, Solar Rights Alliance executive director. Laura Deehan, Environment California state director. Ken Cook, Environmental Working Group president, EWG.
