CFE Internet

Have you considered getting a photovoltaic system? We have one here in Montana. Our monthly bill is $4.20, the connection charge to Northwestern Electric. We put more back into their system than we take out at night or in the winter.


Yes, to reduce my impact on global warming I had solar installed several years ago. I assume that your system, like mine, is connected to the grid. So I feed high quality electricity into the CFE grid and I get poor quality electricity back from CFE.

Most of the time I give CFE more than I consume, resulting in bills of M$69. But then the CFE meter stops working properly. CFE charges me for consumption, but doesn’t credit me for production, and I get bills for thousands of pesos.

I am currently experiencing the very same thing with my system installed back in February. Installed solar, got the lowest bill ever. Woohoo! Next billing cycle, the highest bill ever. I've been going crazy trying to figure this out, and the only numbers that even come close to making the math work is adding production and consumption. Then billing at "bigger carbon footprint than a US military base" rates. Currently entering week 2 of waiting for a CFE tech to show up.
Your post has restored my sanity...thank you.
