Also what's missing from the article is whether this will affect solar customers on the DR plan or TOU plan - or both?
Good point. The two result in wildly different bills for the same usage. If they're really concerned about the wear and tear on their wires due to the travel of electrons, I'd assume it'd be both.
I wonder how much they charge the wholesale generators for their use of the transmission and distribution lines? I doubt they charge them at all. Seems like they should develop a consistent model as for how use of the lines is paid for, e.g., you don't pay when you are a producer, you do when you are a consumer.
