Did you know that GRU currently offers a one-time rebate for installing solar panels. GRU also pays for excess energy the solar panels produce!

This system is in place but a new system is proposed. The new system would not limit the amount of energy GRU would purchase.       

Under the proposed system, John Crider, GRU utilities analyst says GRU would pledge to buy all solar energy produced by households and businesses for 26 cents per kilowatt hour.

Question: how much are you paying right now per kilowatt hour?
