What happened
A pilot program, led by Magali Delmas, offers 4,000 customers lower-cost electricity during the day for two years. The program, run by Clean Power Alliance, aims to see if offering essentially free daytime power changes consumer habits. The findings from this pilot will inform future rate incentives designed to reduce stress on the power grid.

Why it matters
The program addresses California's excess solar power generated during the day. By aligning consumer usage with solar generation, the effort seeks to reduce pressure on the grid during high-demand evenings and potentially lower overall electricity costs.
