WPS wants to increase Electric connection charge to $68

http://www.renewwisconsin.org/pdf/WP...AQ%20final.pdf

It seems that WPS after getting most of what it wanted (not so slowly increasing the connection fee from $8 to $21+) they apparently have a roadmap to get it up to $68 so they are protected from "price fluctuations"

They also seem to allude that the cost to supply electricity to each individual in a 20 unit apartment is the same as a car factory, which is stinkin thinkin.

More and more everyday it appears going partially off grid with natural gas backup is the way to go, as it would protect me from "price fluctuations"

So now the question becomes what small continuous use natural gas generators exist?

Having looked before it appears that I would need to locate something very very old or a continuous use diesel genset with a natural gas
kit. I really only need about 3-4kw and have almost everything to go partially solar.
Sad reality is it appears most modern natural gas gensets are now just backup units, the units designed for years of heavy use have gotten larger and larger leaving a void.

On an off topic
Response Rewards (Wisconsin Public Service)

the response rate used to be $0.011 per KW and has now gone up over 6 cents.

Odd how politics work around here.
