Subject: Residential Rate Modernization Plan PAC-E-25-02
Here is a letter of changes &a bill showing credit towards future bills.We save credit during
the summer to help pay towards the winter months.
Solar is 1:1 but they separate on-peak& off peak usage. They give us credit at the same rate
they charge. As of now, on-peak we pay&get .145/kh; off-peak .05/ kh
On-peak hours, as of now, are from 7 am-10 pm. That is when we pay the high rates. It also
includes all the time the sun shines so we get higher credit for any extra solar we produce.
Now off peak is from 10 pm- 7am plus weekends &holidays. We work hard to use more
power during those times at the cheaper rate.
The letter attached will show how they are changing on and off peak hours.
In the winter we produce little power because of clouds &snow on the panels. During the
on peak hours they suggest, there is little sun &solar production will be close to zero. They
will charge us more and give us basically nothing.
The summer on peak hours they have listed leave out most solar production. We won't
produce much solar between 3 pm & 11 pm. Again, they will charge us more &guaranteed
we will use more power than we will be able to produce. Basically, they will get our solar
production without having to pay us.
Good deal for them, but we will be robbed of any benefit of having solar.
Please do not approve this criminal proposal!
If is has already been approved, please revoke it.
We are senior citizens on fixed income.
The power company makes a fortune in profit each year. I can't see why they have to cheat
us out of what has been promised.We are grandfathered into the time of day. Now they are
changing peak hours to when the sun doesn't shine and charging us heavy to do it.
Please protect us from this happening.
