I guess this plan will help increase the value of the house considerably, and get the reeling building industry and overall economy back on its feet as well.

@Jonathan – GRU plans to help cover program costs with an increase of about 93 cents per month on customers’ utility bills, and it doesn’t expect to keep the 32-cent rate for more than two years. It will also retain renewable energy certificates and carbon credits for the systems. With the cap and trade system we’re likely to see implemented in the next few years, those credits could be pretty valuable.

I must be missing something here. $0.32 per kWh is far more than I pay for electricity, but it sounds like these utilities are going to pay their consumers this rate for excess energy put back into the grid? Seems like that would be a huge loss for these companies…

First city maybe but California has had a feed in tariff for a full year now. Still it’s nice to see that the US is making progress and 32 cents per kwh is much better than the 15 cents per kwh that California is getting right now.
