@solar_chase@mastodon.green @isotopp@infosec.exchange in Germany it is now planned to charge people with a PV system additional money to finance the grid, because they do not consume enough and part of the grid access cost is hidden in the power price.
Most people do not realize that all price plans break when people behave in unexpected ways.

@hhf@chaos.social @solar_chase@mastodon.green This is long term what happened elsewhere, too. For example, the Dost of a mobile phone call is immaterial to the cost of maintain8 g the network. Hence, „flatrates“, monthly normal usage packages. I expect that to happen with „Winter energy flatrates for solar households“, too. We will be at negative to zero consumption for 8 months of the year and need about 4-5 MWh in Winter, so around 1000-1250 Euro in cost currently. This is plannable for me and my electricity provider and we could make a deal for that (5 MWh/year, no more than 1250 kWh/month)
