Under Assembly rules, <strong>AB 1139 may return next year.<\/strong> Even if it doesn\u2019t, utilities whose business models are upended by the rapid rise in California solar generation will probably lobby the state\u2019s Public Utility Commission to cut solar incentives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One way utilities could work with solar energy producers \u2014 at least a partial fix for their problems \u2014 is called \u201cload management.\u201d<\/strong> You may have heard of a firm called OhmConnect <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohmconnect.com\/how-it-works?link_id=3&amp;can_id=93a4ce0eebcdf0975527b3c758e9fbe2&amp;source=email-earn-money-for-yourself-and-350-humboldt-win-in-georgia&amp;email_referrer=email_1027624&amp;email_subject=earn-money-for-yourself-and-350-humboldt-win-in-georgia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(here\u2019s their website)<\/a> <\/strong>which does just that.
