>Idaho Power’s latest proposal to the Public Utilities Commission would drop compensation for solar exports from 6.18¢/kWh — a rate that only took effect in January 2024 — to an average of 2.46¢/kWh annually. That’s a 72% reduction from the previous standard rate of 8.8¢/kWh, which had been in place for over a decade.
Could very well make sense. Imho. Rooftop solar shouldn’t be subsidiesd more than utiltiy-scale solar.

So drop the amount paid out to such a low amount that it no longer makes any financial sense, yet still keep the program running to save face and say the state has a net meter program? Saavy, but not being used in a positive way. Ugh
