Petition Make big energy companies pay a fair price to private solar power contributors

Force big energy companies to pay private individuals the market rate for each kWh fed back to the grid.

More details

When wholesale gas prices soared in 2022, consumer gas prices increased. So did electricity prices as it cost more buy the gas burned to fuel electrical generation. But a kWh, is a kWh, is a kWh - so big energy producing solar got to sell their energy at the new market rate (though it cost no more to produce) and benefited from huge profits.

Paying market rate will help with cost of living and promote solar installation. I believe that it is in accordance with free market principles and it is morally correct.
