They use every trick in the book to raise rates for profits. That is why I have a solar system, so I can produce some of my own energy and don't have to worry about higher rates.

They normally cost more for you to use. Therefore, your bill would be higher than others, unless they subsidize the renewables by applying the extra cost to others. I think the only people that have mislead you are the promoters of the renewable energy. You shoud address your question to them. Or the power co. could also explain it. when power companies are required to buy renewables they have to pay more for them than conventional sources. They normally cost more for you to use.
