From previous post

In BC the rate is $0.099/kWh, which is a little higher than the base price everyone pays for their first 'block' of power, but less than what is paid when you exceed your base block of power. 

This means other hydro users are not subsidizing your system, you are just receiving what the utility will be able to sell your excess power for. 

A much fairer system, but obviously the price of your generation system must be lower for it to make financial sense. 

I understand the frustration that taxpayers and utility users have with the current Ontario government.
