6 days agoI imagine as we move to renewables, a lot of places are gonna have similar situation. Maybe not as bad, but I don’t know what the situation with the taxes there is.
There’s a fixed cost associated with having the infrastructure that maintains a wire from consumer to producer functional, if you’re not paying for electricity, you’re paying for all the transmission lines and other hardware.
I can’t imagine any grid making it profitable for people to sell power to it, sounds like a nightmare to try and balance load with random home setups bumping it up and down, but a fully self-sufficient solar home could probably eliminate all costs but maintenance for the grid connection, if you want backup to solar.
Yeah, that sounds pretty bad.
