We had a not too dissimilar experience here in Australia with the privatisation and/or ‘deregulatory’ sabotage of our public infrastructure (SECV in the ‘90s, Telstra in the ‘00s, NBN in the ‘10s); I liken it to pigeon politics - they fly in, shit on everything, then promptly fuck off!
I imagine with the amount of snow cover you guys get up there - solar wouldn’t be feasible for ~40% of the year and likely cause massive load balancing issues in the summer due to the glut of supply, so that’s probably why they try to cap the size of systems you can install.
Feels very short sighted though, could be putting surplus production towards industry, rather than incentivising them to shut down!
Best of luck to you, hopefully Carney is going to be able to help address some of the issues you guys are facing!
