The TPPF Take: Without the change, all Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) customers face higher bills in order to subsidize the few who choose to install solar panels on their homes.
“The rest of PEC’s members are currently bearing solar users’ costs of transmitting the electricity they generate—which rarely happens during the times the grid needs it most,” says TPPF’s Jason Isaac. “Without realizing it, ordinary families have been subsidizing solar customers to the tune of over $1 million per year.”
