President Michael R. Peevey
California Public Utilities Commission

San Francisco, CA 94102
Pres. Peevey,
I am writing to oppose the proposed change by Pacific Gas & Electric to limit eligibility for the A-6 rate. In their general rate case application, PG&E proposes to restrict the rate to customers with a maximum demand of 75 kW, rather than the 499 kW limit in place today.
My business invested in solar X years ago as a way to both save money and contribute to the state’s efforts to address environmental problems…
A-6 is a solar-friendly rate that was part of my decision to invest in solar generation. I would not have invested in solar had I not concluded that a rate similar to A-6 would be available well into the future.
The decision to go solar was not easy, but I am proud to be adding to the generating capabilities of the state. Since expanding solar power in California has been a high priority of the state, I expect to be able to continue on a rate schedule that values my contribution.
Forcing me onto the A-10 or E-19 rate schedule would significantly change my investment outlook. I ask that you respect my investment and reject this request from PG&E.
Respectfully,
Your Name
Cc: Governor Jerry Brown
Commissioner Michel Peter Florio
Commissioner Catherine J.K. Sandoval
Commissioner Michael Picker
Commissioner Carla J. Peterman
