Pioneering Net-Zero: Michelle Frost’s Solar-Powered Home Journey

The conversation delves into the proposed transition from net metering to net billing in British Columbia, exploring the implications for solar energy users and the role of the BC Utilities Commission. Steve Unger, an intervener in the process, discusses the complexities of the rate application, the various stakeholders involved, and the recent revelation of a significant math error by BC Hydro that has shifted the dynamics of the discussion. The dialogue emphasizes the need for a holistic understanding of the benefits of solar energy and the importance of fair energy policies.

Correction: At 14:36 and 28:26 in the episode, the figure mentioned should be $1.4B, not the number originally stated.
