Yeah, I figured as much. They make it next to impossible for the average consumer to do ANYTHING to reduce their power bill (besides using less). I would suppose that if you ran the numbers on this project, it's going to be as close to a break even as you can get because god forbid you affect their price gouging.
Net metering is common in the USA, as well as BC and Ontario. As far as I know, you don't have to buy (or lease) equipment from your power provider in most of the jurisdictions... you simply fill out an application and away you go. There are restrictions though (I believe it's 50KW or less?) so you don't get Joe farmer tying in a 2 MW diesel tractor engine to the grid when the price spikes.
Just another reason to hate Enmax, I guess.
