True that. PG&E commits another lie a lot of folks don't know about. California pushed a lot of folks to install home solar and supply the grid with their excess. Sounds good in theory. Until PG&E realized free American citizens were able to supply power better than the utility could, so PG&E got in the habit of every now and then changing the frequency on the grid slightly off the 60 Hz standard. This makes all of the inverters of solar users go into protection mode (to protect the homeowners' appliances from dirty power), which temporarily disconnects them from the grid, which makes them temporarily quit supplying excess solar power to the grid.
Thus, lying PG&E can show reports to their lying state regulators and say, "See? You need us more than ever, even with everybody having solar power. That's why we have to charge high rates even during peak hours when the sun is shining."
Even when you play their game and "do your part", they change the rules of the game so there's always a crisis that only they can solve.
too much load also will pull down generation from 60 cycles to a lower number.
