That’s why they did it. If too many people cut down usage thru solar then everyone else has to pay more per kWh of usage.

The usage is a big cost for any utility provider, but another huge part is keeping everything maintained and connected across the entire grid. That costs man hours, materials, you name it.

If you swap to solar and pay 0$ per month, yet you still incur costs to your utility to keep lines running to your home and your county, then a flat monthly fee to charge for that unused connection to cover your capacity to use it when needed makes sense.

Something had to give, idk if the path they’ve chosen is the right path however
