GENERATORS FOR EXPORTED GENERATION

Dear Commissioner,
May we first say thank you! We appreciate the opportunity to use electricity. Life would be extremely
difficult without it.
We have solar, and we are blessed to be on Schedule 135.
It is working for us to help pay for the expensive solar system we bought.
We have been notified of the proposed change. We are hoping that the commission rejects the
utility's application.
We appreciate the proposal that we would be "grandfathered" for the next ten years. However, the
term "grandfathered" by definition means never changed nor ended. We would beseech you to let us
keep on our current system perpetually.
The electric company should never be allowed to charge more per KWH than they credit the solar
producers towards their future usage. If they lower the rate they credit us, they should also lower the
rate they charge us. We are grateful there is a commission to keep them honest.
We already have to pay a base rate of $14 per month instead of the regular $5 for the privilege of
using Schedule 135. This should give them some compensation.
Thank you for your time.
