Its already 50c or more per kilowatt hour… https://www.pge.com/assets/pge/docs/account/rate-plans/residential-electric-rate-plan-pricing.pdf
On top of the “The Electric Home Rate Plan includes a $15-per-month Base Services Charge”… because people were starting to get 100% of their power from solar and it was “unfair”.
Grid attached solar contributes to the overall usage which brings the cost displaced back down. Personal solar is almost always a net positive for the customers, the power company, and the homeowner with the solar. Not to mention the environmental offset that comes with generating your own power.
But what about the shareholders, how does solar help them?
If the shareholders are smart, they’ll buy shares of the solar providers and solar maintenance companies.
But what if the shareholders are stupid, lazy and greedy, without the ability to look more than 3 months into the future?
