So..... my 'wonderful' utility has decided they need to charge me $0.036/kWh that I generate with solar. I do get net-metering (yay) but I only get paid ~$0.025/kWh for any monthly excess.
Rate 59; Screwing people that have the audacity to generate their own power.
Meanwhile... they've signed a PPA with Nextera energy to build a 70MW farm and Xcel is going to buy power from them for $0.04/kWh.
So......... why is the excess electricity I generate worth $0.025/kWh but they're paying $0.04 for electricity from Nextera?
Why doesn't Nextera have to pay $0.036/kWh that THEY produce? They're not building back up generators.... only solar.
???????
Nextera gets paid to generate electricity (must be nice)....
