VEPCO Ain't Gonna Load Level for Free

[Bret Cahill]

Virginia Electric Power CO just started charging $60/mo more for
anyone with solar panels.

This makes financing for a molten salt battery possible. Sure they'll
put up the solar panels and operate off the solar panels & Zebra
battery.

They just won't tell VEPCO. The grid bill will just be the $2 / month
for some CFL outdoor lighting.

Power companies need to face the new reality: Your only purpose is to
load level.

You get your fannies out to Jefferson Nat'l forest or some place with
mountains and start looking for some lakes.

Do you have a source for this claim? The only thing I found was a standby
charge for customers who wanted to keep a connection to the grid in case
their solar or wind systems did not produce enough power for their needs:

and their net metering agrement:

I have been unable to find any evidence on the 'net for the above
claim. I think you are mistaken.

It's $60/month. It's creating quite a flap, at least in Tidewater
where pumped storage and firing up the nuke every night are both
problematical.

Stoping and staring a nuke is always "problematical" which is why no one
does that.

BTW, VEPCO ceased to exist some time ago.

And you've posted that to USENET _twice_, so it just has to be true.

Have you ever heard the term "corroborative evidence"? Or, for that
matter, "trustworthy evidence"?

The House of Burgesses has to vote on it first but $60/mo is what
Dominion wants.
