The only thing I don't understand in the lawsuit is the credits allegedly not being honored. The claim of the 20 credits = $1.00.
I see the lawsuit as a joke. They are alleging "beliefs." This looks like a phishing expedition, not a valid complaint.
Shazbot...
Can you show us where any of these allegations are true? the rate increase is to net metered customers. Went from $12.75/month to 17.90 at the beginning of this year and the full $38.51 gradually comes in at 2020. The 2016 net metering rate changed from $0.11 to 0.09 at the start of this year and is scheduled to go to $0.026 in 2020. I don't see a problem with this. The incentives to change to green energy cannot last forever. The subsidies need a scheduled termination phase out, and they chose 2020.
Again, the only think I don't understand is the 20 credits = $1.00 in the suit. can you explain that please? I assume they are speaking of federal rebates the customers need to seek on their own, or that the installers received for a reduced installation cost.
Nothing "belief" about penalizing solar customers to keep investor-owned-for-profit NV Energy's cash flow pouring in.
100s, if not 1000s, of solar jobs lost or will be lost as NV Energy effectively kills solar in sunny NV.
Net metering dropping from $0.11 to $0.026 isn't an incentive. It's simply NV Energy buying power from distributed solar customers.
NV Energy SELLS a KwH for $0.13 to residential customers. Buy a KwH for 2.6 and sell for 13? nice markup to screw their customers.

I see you didn't read the lawsuit.
The word "belief" is in almost every claim. It would surprise me if it's thrown out for that reason.
When does your desire for subsidizing things end? We need to end all subsidies!
I don't see a problem with it. That the approximate wholesale rate. Why should any power producer get more than the wholesale rate? Do you think the money to pay wages and line maintenance comes out of thin air?
I noticed you didn't answer my question about credits.
Warren Buffett controls Nevada’s legacy utility. Elon Musk is behind the solar company that’s upending the market. Let the fun begin.

Buffet is as ruthless, greedy as any capitalist.
Besides screwing up the Nevada solar market to NV utilities monopoly cash flow, and retroactively, he also controls the biggest mobile home mfr which finances at sub-prime rates.

The Koch Brothers' Dirty War on Solar Power
All over the country, the Kochs and utilities have been blocking solar initiatives — but nowhere more so than in REPUG Florida
investor-owned utilities, together with Koch-brothers-funded front groups like American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), are mounting a fierce, rear-guard resistance at the state level – pushing rate hikes and punishing fees for homeowners who turn to solar power. Their efforts have darkened green-energy prospects in could-be solar superpowers like Arizona and Nevada. But nowhere has the solar industry been more eclipsed than in Florida, where the utilities' powers of obstruction are unrivaled.
The Sunshine State has the best solarity east of the Mississippi, and the third-best rooftop solar potential in America. Yet measured by solar production, it ranks just 16th in the nation. It's dwarfed by solar giants like California. Florida even lags behind Northern states like New Jersey, Massachusetts and New York. "It defies logic," says former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist. "It's absolutely absurd."
The solar industry in Florida has been boxed out by investor-owned utilities (IOUs) that reap massive profits from natural gas and coal. These IOUs wield outsize political power in the state capital of Tallahassee, and flex it to protect their absolute monopoly on electricity sales. "We live in the Stone Age in regard to renewable power," says state Rep. Dwight Dudley, the ranking Democrat on the energy subcommittee in the Florida House.
"The power companies hold sway here, and the consumers are at their mercy."

Nevada REPUG Regulators Approve New Rate Hike Timeline For Rooftop Solar Customers
The Public Utility Commission of Nevada voted unanimously on Friday to transition rooftop solar customers onto contentious new rates over 12 years, rejecting requests from NV Energy and solar advocates to approve a more generous 20-year transition period.
The change applies to both existing and new solar customers, building on a draft ruleissued this week, thanks to a last-minute proposal put forward by Chairman Paul Thomsen.
NV Energy did not immediately respond to request for comment, but recently lobbied to keep Nevada’s 17,000 existing solar customers on the old rates for up to 20 years.

residential solar storage:
https://www.chron.com/business/energ...s-13355007.phpSunnova Energy Corporation, a Houston-based solar energy company, said Thursday that it is bringing a solar-plus-storage system that will allow homeowners to store solar energy in batteries for later use to Texas.
Solar energy production ebbs and flows with the sun, which is why many solar panels are connected to the grid — homeowners contribute power to the grid whenever the sun is shining in exchange for credit they can use for power later. What are known as solar-plus-storage systems allows homes with solar panels to store energy during the day and dispense it when needed, reducing dependence on the grid. Sunnova’s residential solar-plus-storage system, SunSafe, debuted in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria caused the longest blackout in U.S. history. The service provides a 25-year performance guarantee.
