Comparing BCH to any other jurisdiction is just plain silly. The Basic Charge in BC doesn't cover the costs of delivering electricity to customers. To suggest otherwise is disingenuous. Further, unless BC has changed the self-generation rate, it only applies to energy charges. A self-generator is still obligated to pay the Basic Charge which is what I have been advocating for.

For what it's worth I'm trying to show I agree with you here that ultimately, net metering in most jurisdictions as in BC is not sustainable. I wasn't trying to compare anything, just trying to show (poorly apparently) that "net metering" in some jurisdictions like mine are even worse for utilities and will need to be changed once uptake gets high enough
