I've been invited to take part in stake holder consultation meetings with a consultancy employed by the Government to make recommendations on renewable energy legislation for Anguilla. In the first of two meetings, they announced their intention to recommend a net-billing arrangement for grid-tied residential solar systems on the basis of offering the consumer less-than-avoided-cost. I was vocally opposed to anything other than net-metering at retail as I believe it cannot work and will fail and I have written a blog entry describing the issues. http://caribbeanrenewable.blogspot.com/
As I have another meeting with them, I would like to prepare some examples of how this is a failed system. If anyone can offer some information I can use, or would like to critic my post, I would like to hear from you. As background, this is a tropical island with great sunshine, electricity at 43c/Kwh, and no incentives for solar installation. -- Chris Mason Skype: netconcepts
