The Minister is right; we would actually be paid back. So I do this great investment, I’m spending all this money and I’m actually getting back, by putting power back in the grid by net metering, the Member says eight cents. I believe that number is probably closer to 13 cents per kilowatt. I know we pay a lot more per kilowatt hour. Many other jurisdictions in Canada and around the world have regulations where they pay back to those people who do the investment, and to do these great initiatives and spend their hardworking money to be energy smart and green smart, they are paying 1.5 to two times the value of that kilowatt hour. Our jurisdiction is paying at cost.
Can the Minister indicate to us why we are paying so very little to people who are making a solar initiative? Why is that number so little and what’s regulating that? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
