why the corporation commission

i guess the corp com let the power co refuse to buy power from asu's generation capacity (solar).this is during the srp peak periods. well doesn't it seem peculiar that whenever a renewable resource is offered then many barriers develop. anyone think this might be a result of power co stockholders and managers tryin to keep profits as high as possible since you can't keep askin for raises in cost when the raw material is free.---just a thought. sincerely rik i

This is not a solution; it is chatting.

Can you confirm that the utility company serving ASU doen't have to buy the power generated by ASU's solar panels? I thought by law that the company was required to buy by power generated by their customers.

the corp com passed a resolution to not allow the univ to sell power to the consumer. my solution to this problem is to remove the profit margin from absolutely outrageous to 10% above the cost of production--- therefore removing the necessity for keeping the stockholders rich fat and happy. additionally the power companies have a monopoly on power production which means most of the populous must have their product in order to survive arizona summers. now when you have a power co that is profit driven and stockholder owned--can't u see a conflict
