As Kansas utility pursues surcharge on solar customers, advocates want more data

The Kansas Corporation Commission has been looking at the rate design for distributed-generation customers. They are considering a demand fee to be added onto customer bills by the utility company. Various utilities nationwide state that solar customers reduce the power they purchase and no longer pay their total share of costs. Studies funded by utilities have shown this outcome. However, independent studies conclude that these customers pay for more than their expenses. Advocates believe more data is necessary to come to an agreement about what expenses are being covered and how to handle those that are not.

Mr. President: In Iowa, wind energy equals jobs

Iowan’s see that investments in renewable energy are investments in rural communities themselves. Iowa’s wind industry employs 7,000 and is expected to grow to 20,000 by 2020. 35% of Iowa’s electricity is wind produced and is estimated to increase to 40% within 3 years. The ability to lower dependence on other energy sources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create domestic jobs, and lower electric bills are all benefits to not just Iowan’s but to our entire nation.

Study: Solar roof customers benefit the grid

Solar panels on a roof

 

The Institute for Energy Innovation (IEI) conducted a study on solar roof customers. The utility says they credit those customers, meaning the customer pays less than their share of the electricity infrastructure. However, IEI concluded that customers pay for more than their portion.

IEI’s President, Dan Scripps says the credits are fair and the simplicity of the plan is beneficial. If the commission alters the credit, he believes customers should receive more instead of less since the electricity they produce is worth more than the credit received.

Lowell school district makes switch to solar power

ct-ct-ptb-tri-creek-solar-2-20170705

Lake County’s involvement with solar energy began in 2015.  Tri-Creek School Corporation’s bus barn converted to solar and since then 3 schools have installed panels. They are only hoping to increase that number. It is expected that the arrays will provide 80% of their energy needs, saving about $250,000 a year.

Benefits are numerous. Tri-Creek sees the ability to allocate those savings towards education. Solar panels dedicated to student projects can be found at each school. This venture prepares students for a future in clean energy, reduces the carbon footprint, decreases water usage at power plants, and is a catalyst for other schools to focus on being more green.
