Tree trimming and electric line clearance funding

The utility is falling behind on keeping trees off power lines despite spending $112,000 of a $175,000 budget this year. A full-year crew could cost $250,000–$300,000 in the 2027 budget, and that will factor into future utility rates. Better line clearance should mean fewer outages.

Rider E rooftop solar surcharge

Customer-owned solar customers will see their excess-generation credit rise from 7.5 to 9.5 cents/kWh, but the facilities charge drops 50% in 2026 and is phased out in 2027 as fixed customer charges rise to recover distribution costs. About 10-11 solar interconnection customers are affected.
