Even higher here. Then they decided that they add a charge on electric bills so that the government could discount gas prices (I was using a green-ish energy company). Then a charge to fund a social support program, on top of meter rental, delivery, emergency breakdown, and so on. So this doesnt encourage anyone to save energy. So I went off-grid solar. And guess what, if I want to sell my excess energy to the grid, I would have to still pay all those charges! ie the max they pay you is limited to the amount of energy you used from the grid!
