Summary
California's Demand Side Grid Support Program, which links over 200,000 solar-powered homes to supply electricity to the grid during peak demand, could save residents up to $206 million on electricity bills. The article argues that the state should continue funding this program rather than abandoning it, as it provides cheap, clean power and helps stabilize the grid during heat waves and high-demand periods.
