SRP is asking for a $50/month fee for homeowners that add solar. Ridiculous but let’s look down the road. If I were a utility exec then I would be worried to overcharge the solar fee, killing solar never really worked for anyone, eventually it will come back and hurt even more. $50/month is a great incentive for homeowners to go to the more drastic grid defection route because it makes more financial sense perhaps, but $50/month may be what is necessary to recoup the expense of ‘helping’ a couple utility commissioners get elected, let’s see.
