WASHINGTON, D.C. - Following is a statement from Sean Gallagher, vice president of state affairs for the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), on Gulf Powers effort to impose demand charges on its customers:
Charging based on electricity use allows customers to save money by reducing consumption. Higher fixed charges and residential demand charges dont do a good job of aligning customer behavior with the grids needs and reduce the opportunity for customers to save money by going solar. We should be doing just the opposite in the Sunshine State. There are other approaches that are fair to utilities, customers and solar providers alike, but this isnt one of them.
