They unbundled the rates So who pays the maintenance for the lines? So my bill has a charge for the electricity that PG&E buys from a 100% renewable supplier then charges a fee to deliver it. The delivery fee is about 2/3rds the bill so I've read that those of us without solar are subsidizing those with solar since they don't have as much delivered using net metering. I'm mostly LED and some fluorescent plus eliminated the waterbed, turned off the hot tub, upgraded all appliances to highly efficient ones and switched from tropical to gold fish so my electrical bill is so small I doubt I'd repay the cost for solar without subsidy before it was so old it would need to be replaced. My guess is by then they would do what my water company does.... 2/3rds of the bill is to be connected and 1/3 is for the water.... at least during the winter.
