I think if you need money from customers to maintain the power grid, it should be a specific charge for that, and be levied against ALL customers. And the commission should look into the actual cost of grid maintenance before setting the rate.
Georgia Power has no problem slapping that base charge on their bill just to hang a meter on your house. If your solar panels return any energy back to the grid anytime you should be getting the break even bonus from the power company.
