Three appeals court judges ruled that the California Public Utilities Commission was justified in reducing the rate that customers are paid by their utility companies for extra electricity they produce.

Environmental advocates who brought the case say the decision will exacerbate California's energy affordability crisis.

Regulators believe it vindicates a decision they made "to ensure that rooftop solar programs remain fair, sustainable, and aligned with California's clean energy goals," commission spokesperson Terrie Prosper said Tuesday.
