Ooooh, so I'm subsidized. I'm beginning to feel less guilty for not going solar.
At $20 - $25 a month, my bill must be lower than the average. This is despite the fact that I have the full complement of electric appliances - freezer, fridge, water heater, washer, drier (just the motor, the fuel is propane), and various electronics (computer, printer, radios, microwave), even a 220 water pump in the well. I did get energy efficient appliances over the last few years, which lowered my bill noticeably.
The only thing I don't have is electric heat, although I do use those oil-filled space heaters in the bathroom and office occasionally. Oh, and I don't have a TV or a coffee maker (use a hand grinder and manual drip).
Does anyone know how this compares with the charge for hooking to the grid with net metering?

"To be sure, any customer who purchases less electricity than the average is 'subsidized,'" Young wrote. "It is the average rate structure, not net metering, that shifts costs among retail customers."
