Hey everyone. I currently live off grid, but plan to bring the grid back to my place so I can sell the property in the near future. I live north of Dallas, and will be using Pentex energy. They informed me that they will need to add a second meter to track what I am using from my own solar production so they can charge me for that because of some settlement that came about recently from the Brazos bankruptcy filing from Winter Storm Uri.
I am perplexed that they can charge me for this and was wondering if anyone else has had to deal with this? Icing on the cake is that the inverters I bought earlier this year are the EG4 6500ex which are not grid tie, so Pentex said I would need to buy new ones.
It is only around 1.4 cents per KWH right now, but I am upset more about the principal behind it. I put up the investment for my own system, I purchased inverters that work well for me needs and have the ability to have grid power bypass through it (but then I would be double charged), and they will also be charging me an additional $10 per month for the second meter.
I keep trying to find the details of this settlement to figure out how this can be legal, but I am not having any luck.
Thanks for any help and insight!
