A trio of environmental groups wants the California Public Utilities Commission to upend last month's decision that overhauled the rules affecting the 1.6 million Californians who have installed rooftop solar on their homes and businesses.
The Protect Our Communities Foundation, based in San Diego, joined the Environmental Working Group and the Center for Biological Diversity in filing an application for a rehearing and a reversal of the Dec. 15 ruling by the commission.
"They made a mistake," said Bill Powers, an engineer and board member of the Protect Our Communities Foundation. "This was the wrong decision."
