Episode Details

California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra is rolling out a bold “power hour” plan to give lower-income families two free hours of electricity daily—targeting midday when solar energy surpluses drive prices negative. Designed to ease energy costs and stabilize the grid, the initiative draws from successful models like Australia’s three-hour free electricity program, encouraging users to shift consumption to sunny peaks. Becerra aims to launch it within his first year, partnering with the Public Utilities Commission, turning excess solar into savings—and shifting habits for everyone’s benefit.
