When you say 'fixed' do you mean $X/kWp or you're connected... you pay $Y regardless of how much, little, how or when you use the grid...
In other news... I was very excited to see that EarthJustice is sending counsel to join the fight in NM...
You should pay a fixed fee based on the size of your connection, regardless of how much or little you use it. Anyone who's connected to the grid, supports it proportionally the same. If you have a poor power factor, you should pay more. Generators also pay the connection. If you have a generator that has the ability to feed into the grid, you'd pay for it's connection as well as your taking connection. Generators should receive real-time market price for firm power. They should pay wheeling fees to the grid based on their distance from the closest market hub. Depending on how robust the markets, each distribution substation should be a hub. Non-firm power should pay balancing fees based on the current market price. If you have your own battery, you could self balance to provide firm power.
