Actually, a lot of PG&E’s power is hydro, but it’s almost all “big hydro,” and that has other consequences. (One good thing: Essentially zero coalfired generation.)

The good news: Even though the legislature didn’t pass the bill requiring utilities to take rooftop solar up to 5% of their overall capacity (as opposed to the current 2.5%), PG&E agreed to unilaterally change that to a 3.5% level–otherwise, photovoltaic would get a *lot* less desirable for new customers in about a year, since PG&E wouldn’t be required to buy excess generation.

Southeast Alaska is rated very low for solar or I’d be pushing my condo board on it. At least we have hydro up here.
