Top rates are being maintained for ever for those who could afford solar first and also benefitted from government rebate, when you and I ever get ready we will get a far lower rate and no rebate.

Renewable energy is transient energy so you will always need BELCO. Switching to LNG is better than continuing to burn HFO.

We need to make solar affordable for everyone in Bermuda. It is in the works.

There is no excuse, we have the availability of sun to power our homes every day. We have to make it available to the average and lower income Bermudians so everyone can afford solar.

Distributed energy is the only way to defeat the giant utility who knows nothing about being a progressive utility and is only interested in lining the pockets of their shareholders and locking us into LNG for the next 30 years! LNG is wrong for Bermuda, it is regressive!

It is about bloody time!! Thank you to the RA for taking the side of the people!

Why should someone who is produces energy from the sun and is required to feed it back to BELCO who then in turn gets to use that free energy to sell it back to someone else not get paid for producing such energy?

The protectionism of BELCO must STOP!

I can’t wait for the announcement of our bill increase in the near future ,guessing that will be first on the agenda at the next shareholders meeting.I would not be surprised if the shareholders are the majority of the people with solar panels.They get paid for energy they put back into the system in addition to the profits they receive from the company.

Damn! I’m trying hard not to be a hater but their game is strong.

Explain please. No, I do not have solar & no, I am not a BELCO shareholder. Hundreds of average Bermudians are & anyone can own a piece of BELCO.
