Whereby my delivery charges equal nearly 50% of my hydro bill the addition of delivery charges BACK to my utility when I produce power will result in a reduction in payback of 12.5% or more (based on the .42/ KWH proposed). I am hoping that as further incentive to Green Producers the delivery charges will be eliminated in both directions further increasing the value per KWH. Another area of concern in the price model is the treatment of taxes. If my utility is purchasing power from me will I have to collect and remit taxes for amounts in excess of my usage from the grid?
