One of the "adjustments" is already coming to residential rates. Currently, utilities charge a fixed monthly fee (around $15) and a variable component based on kWh consumption to cover delivery costs. Remember, the local utility has no stake in the commodity (electricity) simply passing those costs through, and has to live or die on the distribution rate. With conservation, distributed generation and the like, consumption (an associated revenue) is falling even though the utility's costs to maintain the poles and wires, issue bills and so forth remains the same. It costs the utility the same to maintain this plant whether a homeowner uses 10 kWh or 1,000 kWh a month. As such, the distribution component of the rate will be moving to a flat fixed charge and will be phased in over the next 4 years. This will likely be of benefit to large consumers (like EV owners) but could end up costing consumers who use less power more on the distribution line on their bill.
