Starting to sound like energy extortion and from the article 200,000 folks with solar PV are paying some disingenuous fee for extra energy pushed back onto the grid, that gets sold in the local area to someone using more power than their solar PV system is putting out or more energy from the local utility grid, if they don’t have solar PV. I’d say that’s an argument for a RICO case against APS AND the ACC. The chorus over the years has been, off grid, off grid, off grid, perhaps it’s time for a more cordial “whatever”attitude as more folks buy into solar PV and BESS and start programming their systems to ride through APS and other utilities, TOU rate periods or get enough solar PV and battery storage to actually meet the homes’ average load demands (overnight) and become grid agnostic. Take a 3,000 square foot home and make it look like a 300 square foot apartment (or less) in energy use billable from the utility a part of the death spiral to the “assured” utility “regulated monopoly”. Both APS, even SRP and TEP should be looking at their solar PV customers as “partners”, instead of some kind of “scofflaw” NOT paying their fair share to the corporate kitty in charge. What part of “pay it forward” and buy your own system that the (utility) does not have to buy property, get rights of ways, finance, pay principle and interest on loans and bonds sold for the project and the utility doesn’t have to insure, troubleshoot or repair the solar PV system, the home owner does or hires a company to do it for them. It is these “avoided costs to the utilility” that are not being accounted for in solar PV adopters. Dog piling the consumer only pushes them to find another way to fill their needs.
