[RE-wrenches] Net-Metering Vs. Net-Billing

[Jason Szumlanski]

Somewhat off topic, but you say there are no incentives. I’m curious if
there are duty/VAT/tax exemptions in Anguilla for imported solar electric
systems.

I've been invited to take part in stake holder consultation meetings with a
consultancy employed  by the Government to make recommendations on
renewable energy legislation for Anguilla. In the first of two meetings,
they announced their intention to recommend a net-billing arrangement for
grid-tied residential solar systems on the basis of offering the consumer
less-than-avoided-cost. I was vocally opposed to anything other than
net-metering at retail as I believe it cannot work and will fail and I have
written a blog entry describing the issues.

As I have another meeting with them, I would like to prepare some examples
of how this is a failed system. If anyone can offer some information I can
use, or would like to critic my post, I would like to hear from you.

As background, this is a tropical island with great sunshine, electricity
at 43c/Kwh, and no incentives for solar installation.
