Glad I am not a Dominion customer anymore. I will happily stick with my coop and pay $0.12/kwh and keep my 1:1 metering.

Edison designs their bill to make it very hard to tell what you are paying per kwh, but I think I'm paying between $0.20 and $0.30 depending on time of day.

.12 kWh sounds great where is that.

Many states have rates in that range. https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.ph...

That table is pretty accurate. I'm a commercial account in Massachusetts and the price listed is within a penny of what I got paid last month for a kWh.

I am on svec.coop, and have been much happier with them than I was on Dominion.

It seems like SVEC caps residential solar at 20kw vs 25? Am I reading that right in their docs?

Yeah residential is capped at 20kw of production for net-metering. I have array rated at 14.5kw and it tracks that at peak pretty well. I hope to add more panels, but they will not be part of my net-metering and be there to charge the future batteries and inverters I want to add.

I’m in the Shenandoah valley but I have 25kw, so it looks like unless I do something complex I’m stuck on Dominion.
