On December six, we wrote a letter to you, the same was delivered and acknowledged as received by your social media personnel. This letter was sent via social media, e-mail and to the local press as an open letter. Up to today we have not yet seen or received a response or reaction to the letter neither privately or publicly.
We are once again submitting the letter to your offices, your legal counsel and the Minister of Vromi Angel Meyers. Please note that the solar consumers and producers of clean power are neither the enemy nor going away because we are being ignored and victimized. On the contrary, this increases our willingness to unite, continue pursuing what we all know is best for the future of the island.
Therefore by this means I am respectfully requesting the following:
An open response to our letter dated. 12/6/15.
A request for a meeting time and date to discuss the following points:
Why has GEBE prioritized the changing of the digital metres to solar customers?
What is GEBE doing to comply with the goals set out on the country's energy policy of
2014?
What are GEBE's plans if any regarding solar production by individual clients?
Why is GEBE not willing to pay dollar for dollar for excess energy produced by its solar
clients, but is ok receiving this energy and not paying anything for it?
Can a compromise be reached on point 4 above until a final policy or tariff is put in
place?
How can we as consumers assist GEBE in embracing the solar production from the
clients that have taken this initiative?
Please note that our goal and intentions are simply the ones stated above for two main reasons:
To protect the significant investment we already made.
For the obvious benefits that clean solar energy generate for the good of the island and the environment.
I sincerely hope that this follow up letter does not fall on "death ears" like our original letter did. We are not going away and we will continue pursuing this subject until the issues are seriously and properly addressed.
Ricardo Perez
Proud residential solar client.
