Alabama Power, which supplies power to much of Alabama, charges customers with rooftop solar a monthly fee of $20-32 for an average-sized system.
Alabama Power has (of course) has stated ‘reasons’ why this fee is fair and equitable, but basically they want to be the provider of electricity (for $$$). Ironically enough, they are creating their own solar panel farms.
Alabama has plenty of sunshine, but Ala Power’s fee has resulted in Alabama being almost dead last in megawatts (ahead of only North and South Dakota) produced by residential solar power, with 1 megawatt. Even Mississippi produces 3.
Ala Power is being sued for their fee. Let’s hope they lose, big time.
