That also incentivizes home battery systems. Charge it up overnight and then use the battery power during peak times. It's a good deal for the power company if you do that too because it reduces amount of swing in the grid.

I modeled buying a few Tesla Powerwalls to do time of use shifting, and it didn't make any sense from an investment standpoint. It's a great incentive if you were buying the battery backup anyway, but not as an investment.
Yup during peak hours I'm usually pumping 3-5 kw to the grid. It's a win-win.
GA Power net metering is still limited access, right? Did you have to wait on a wait-list to get approved for it?
It also incentivises solar, which provides super cheap energy during the day.
