In most states customers are credited with their full retail rate, known as net metering.
. . . If the rate you pay for electricity is $0.12 per kWh,
. . . you would get a $0.12-per-kWh credit for the electricity exported to the grid.
But utilities argue that,
. . . they can buy solar electricity from large solar farms,
. . . for $0.039 - $0.046 per kWh,
So why should regulators force the utility,
. . . to buy that more expensive solar energy?
