I'm not sure what my provider pays for electricity. But they bill me at $0.039- $0.041/ kwh just for the actual electricity. With the line fees and taxes, less the monthly service fee, the billing amount divided by the kWh used comes out to about $0.12/ kWh. If they are billing me at .04, it is safe to say that this is no less than the average. NY deosn't have a high percentage of non-dispatchable generation so the peak price during any day will not tend to spike.

The electric company is taking a big loss with any net metering that they are forced to pay out.

But big subsidise are needed in order to force the roll out of rebuildable energy which is imperative in the long run. Everyone will have to chip in to make it happen.
