I have been warning both friends and family about this, and advising them to ditch mains grid ASAP & behold:

#Pakistan effectively abandons #NetMetering to 'cope' with #Rooftop #solar revolution

dawn.com/news/1897740/solar-us

Net-billing axed, electricity purchases from solar prosumers capped at roughly a FIFTH of what they sold from the grid, full sales tax (GST) + surcharges  irrespective of net consumption, no tax refunds

This is so stupid lol

Summer is coming… and so are skyrocketing electricity bills!

Every year, as the temperature rises, so do your energy costs. Running ACs, fans, and appliances 24/7 leads to massive utility bills that eat into your hard-earned money. But what if we told you that you could say goodbye to these stress-inducing bills forever?

This cold winter, with all these polar vortex incursions, is costly even for an efficient home. Approx $500 a month would be spent on electricity if it weren't for solar and net-metering.

The strongest vortex of the year is starting today, with below 0f expected. I bet we approach $30 per day this week.

Factories employing their own power plants alongside grid connections will have to play "equalized" rates to compensate for the low uptake of mains electricity

People wanting net-metering now have to pay monthly charges for the privilege, and are considered competition

#Pakistan grid is losing customers (and payments) fast, and this is adding immense pressure on all producers

As I hv alluded to, #Pakistan s grid is inching to collapse and the people in charge are frantically trying to keep it afloat rather than make it adapt.

9-14K MW of demand (15-35% of national capacity depending on the season) has disappeared in less than 12 months thanks to solar!

DAWN.COM · Nepra highlights recurring woesBy Farrukh Mahmood Mian

Winter is fully here in Maryland. The heat pumps have been running continuously for hours. It's 18f outside, and will get much colder with the vortex. 6-8 inches of snow tomorrow will cover the solar, so we'll be operating off our banked kWh with the utility, of which 4MWh remains. Thankful we have that much since I don't expect the solar to melt off for a week or more. If I really had to I guess I could find a teenager to broom off the ground mounts 😆 #solar #winter #renewables #Netmetering
