Attend the meeting November 5, 2:00 p.m. | 7th Floor Reliable Plaza and make public comments.
Rooftop Solar has helped thousands of low to medium income families save money on their OUC energy bills, and helped OUC offset a rapidly growing demand for electricity in its service territory.
The rooftop solar industry today encompasses 3,000 direct and over 15,000 indirect jobs in the Orlando area, with over $600 million in economic impact to the Orlando area to date.
All of that is in jeopardy under OUC’s PeakShift/TruNet proposal. OUC’s PeakShift/TruNet will lock Orlando residents into a future with fewer energy choices and higher costs.
OUC’s proposed changes are bad for Orlando:
- OUC’s proposal will destroy the savings of homeowners who install energy efficiency and renewable energy
- OUC customers will suffer inflated forever electric bills, with no way out.
- OUC’s proposal will force Orlando residents to monitor and reduce their own electric consumption constantly, or face higher monthly fixed fees.
- OUC’s proposal eliminates the economic benefit of rooftop solar, making solar impossible for homeowners already struggling to make ends meet.
- OUC’s proposal will drive solar and energy efficiency companies out of the OUC area and lead to drastic job losses, leaving many Orlando residents without companies to service their systems.
- OUC’s proposal makes it harder for anyone who has solar today to sell their home.
- OUC’s proposal creates barriers to community energy resiliency, and its proposed battery incentive will benefit only 500 homeowners.
- OUC’s proposal puts Orlando on the path to less energy independence.
- OUC’s proposal puts the City of Orlando’s energy goals in jeopardy.
The proposal will be presented during the OUC Board of Commissioners meeting at 2 p.m., November 5, 2024, and is expected to be voted on during the December 10, 2024, Commission meeting.
Please attend the meeting to show support for protecting rooftop solar.
Meetings take place in Commission Chambers on the 7th floor of Reliable Plaza
