Changes if you have solar power

Coming into effect November 1 is a new charge for solar power users on any of the EDE systems.


This applies only to those who do not have a 2 way meter! 


New charge is 25% of your "assigned usage" regardless of actual usage.  This is on top of the connection charge etc.


If you have a two way agreement this does not apply to you!

I thought it was a 25% charge on energy you injected back into the grid?  So if you fed 100 kw (as a basic example) back into the grid, you would receive credit for only 75 kw.


I don't feed back into the grid, my meter only spins one way, some I was being charged 100% for feeding back into the grid instead of rolling my meter backwards and getting a credit.  So I use all that I produce, I can't imagine being charged 25% more simply for having panels.  But it is the DR, things do be backwards some days.

It makes alot more sense Uncle Buck with your interpretation. “Assigned Useage “ has me concerned. I’m hoping someone can clarify
