Idaho Power seeks to slash rooftop solar compensation by more than 60%

1. >Idaho Power’s latest proposal to the Public Utilities Commission would drop compensation for solar exports from 6.18¢/kWh — a rate that only took effect in January 2024 — to an average of 2.46¢/kWh annually. That’s a 72% reduction from the previous standard rate of 8.8¢/kWh, which had been in place for over a decade.

   Could very well make sense. Imho. Rooftop solar shouldn’t be subsidiesd more than utiltiy-scale solar.

   Edit: Here are the average Solar market prices in Germany as well as the average spot market price (Just as an example:) https://www.energy-charts.info/charts/market_values/chart.htm?l=en&c=DE&legendItems=cy0y3&interval=year&year=-1

2. So drop the amount paid out to such a low amount that it no longer makes any financial sense, yet still keep the program running to save face and say the state has a net meter program? Saavy, but not being used in a positive way. Ugh
