ACG COMPLETES COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ADDRESSING CALIFORNIA’S OUTDATED ELECTRICITY METERING POLICIES THAT THREATEN CAMPGROUND GROWTH AND CLEAN ENERGY GOALS

A new report prepared by the Acadian Consulting Group, LLC (“ACG”) for the Outdoor Hospitality Industry Association, finds that California’s failure to support individual electricity metering for RV parks and campgrounds is costing millions in lost savings and undercutting the state’s climate agenda.   

The study, authored by Dr. David Dismukes, finds that while the outdoor hospitality industry generates over $81 billion in annual economic activity, current state regulatory rules give utilities unchecked discretion over how to meter and bill on-site campground electricity usage leading to inefficiencies, unfair billing, and blocked access to renewable energy programs.  

The ACG report estimates that modernizing metering policies could slash emissions by 11,000 metric tons and save customers $11 million each year without burdening taxpayers or ratepayers.
