This is a fantastic initiative. Hopefully all parties subscribe to this.
It’s win win for all involved. Only power companies would be against this.

I’m all for new solar but the rebates going towards residential installs will go directly in the pockets of the same companies that are squeezing us as they make billions in profit.
Without similar DER/VPP legislation they have in Australia, the markets will continue to be skewed in favour of the big gentailers. I agree that this is a separate issue from the distributed generation needing to be installed but don’t stop there. Let’s take it all the way and make a level playing field for small generators.
As I’ve said in other comments, the best way to get around the power companies is to offset your own power usage, and put little to no power into the grid itself.
That way you’re essentially paying yourself full purchase price for the power you make, and the power co doesn’t get their cut at all.
Absolutely
