Rocky Mountain Power has been trying to kill the rooftop solar industry since it started to gain popularity back in 2015. RMP claims that they are trying to protect the consumer when they are doing just the opposite. RMP is protecting their own interests.
Individual ownership of electrical-generating systems, commonly referred to as distributed generation, is direct competition to a century-old business model that RMP has enjoyed without challenge. Today’s renewable energy technology now proves that this business model no longer works. Energy can now be generated on-site with individual ownership of rooftop solar systems.
