Perhaps by Jan 2024, Greenrock and the RA will show the Estimated Consumer kWh Rate (ECkR) cost range that will be delivered to consumers and businesses by BECLO purchasing wind-generated electricity. The ECkR is critical to the decision-making process because it shows ALL COSTS involved in delivering electricity to consumers.
Why is it not being disclosed? Because the ECkR would be shockingly greater than our current rate and end the preliminary phase! Bermuda’s electric rate would far surpass green Germany and green Denmark. But we would be #1 with the world’s highest electric rate guaranteed. Bermuda’s current electric rates are right up there with, if not higher than, #1 Germany and #2 Denmark.
Examples: Subsidies, tax breaks, guaranteed returns to investors, turbine maintenance, grind connection, Government taxes added in to make up for the lost fossil fuel tax revenue, BELCO markup, etc. Showing the ECkR and how it was calculated would prove that the overall cost of a wind farm and the future cost of wind turbine generated electricity to Bermudians is economically oppressive. Release the spreadsheet, name, define, and list all the costs in the calculation. Name, define, and list all costs NOT included in the calculation and why they were excluded.
