Hello.
Say you own a big utility company that generates electricity from hydroelectric, diesel, whatever and serves the whole town... There is all the normal overhead as employees, trucks, maintenance equipment, all typical... selling energy at a rate of $0.10 per KWh
There is someone in town with a grid tied roof solar generation. The law says the energy received (when sunny) from that customer has to be credited at 75% of the rate (for night time consumption)
For your point of view, as owner of the utility... What is the cost of crediting energy to that customer at 75% of the rate ? Remember 25% not generated by you was already consumed by the neighbors, billed and collected by you besides of crediting only for 75% of the solar energy generated by you.
Anyone with a clear view of what is going on here, if anything is mathematically unaccounted or hiding ?
