Our EL provider in SE Finland is installing (without charge) a new P1 meter next spring. It will be bidirectional, i.e. ready for solar-to-grid.

This is far from any metro area, so it might be a countrywide rollout.

I thought the old meters were all bidirectional (ie: the spinning wheel could go backwards if you back-fed). Dunno what older gen “smart”meters would do. But I guess the newer meters are capable of paying you some reduced/enhanced rate for backfeeding?

Who’s paying for it?

Some combo of the ratepayer base and the taxpayer base, I assume.
