That seems like complete horse sh**t to me.  Even if what the power company says is true about it helping to pay for the infrastructure (I'm not buying it), it still is really messed up to make it retroactive.

But this opens up the bigger discussion...

As we transition from the current model to one where many people provide some, all or more than all of their electricity needs themselves, we need to make sure we don't bone the early adopters or it's going to take forever.  Or maybe a system where most people generate their own power isn't ideal?  I don't know.  Thoughts?


edit-I'm not even sure this is the right forum for this, mods, feel free to move to Individual Politics or whatever.

Depends on what they meant by retroactive.  If they meant the new rate structure would apply to existing solar installations on a going forward basis, I'm fine with that unless their contracts specified rates for a particular period of time.

Most utilities are operating a dinosaur model, so I'm not surprised their methods to claw back their dominance are so crude.

What you are failing to realize is solar is an expensive undertaking with a long payback period.  I would be mighty pissed if the federal and state government lured me into a multidecade project with false projections and then up ended the terms of the deal a couple of years in.  That's what people like me call fraud.
