Dear Utility Companies,
You’ve really outdone yourselves lately. Every rate hike, every new fee, every creative little “adjustment” you slip onto your customers’ electrical bills — it’s impressive work. And honestly, we just wanted to say thank you.
Because whether you meant to or not, you’ve become the single biggest reason people are switching to solar.
You keep raising rates and somehow expect people not to notice.
You love your surprises. Whether it’s increases due to “time of use” plans, or planning for upgrades you haven’t even started yet, it seems to be one thing after another.
Do you think no one’s looking? Or are you quietly trying to push everyone toward solar one bill at a time?
Either way, it’s working brilliantly. 💡
You make solar look better every time your customers pull out a calculator.
Every time you nudge prices upward, solar becomes the financially responsible option by comparison. It’s almost like you’re standing behind every homeowner whispering, “Seriously, just go solar already.”
And people hear you loud and clear.
When they see their bill climb for the fourth time this year, they don’t think, “Wow, I love paying more for the same electricity.”
They think, “Okay, that’s it. I’m done. Where’s KC Solar?”
The harder you push, the faster your customers slip away.
Here’s the funny thing about control: the more tightly you squeeze, the more obvious the escape routes become.
Every extra charge you tack on reminds people they don’t have to stick around forever. Every unexpected jump in their monthly bill nudges them toward wondering why they’re not generating their own power instead.
You keep tweaking the old model like you’re trying to reinforce it, but those tweaks end up acting more like neon arrows pointing people toward alternatives. Solar suddenly feels predictable. Manageable. Almost relaxing. And compared to wrestling with your ever-changing prices, that calm looks pretty appealing.
So yes—while you’re guarding the past, you’re also giving people a very clear look at what their future could be… and it’s not with you.
You’re practically a solar salesperson at this point. (Should we have you on payroll?)
Whether intentionally or not, every move you make pushes more customers toward energy independence.
When you raise rates, you’re helping them calculate ROI faster.
When you tack on new fees, you’re encouraging them to take control.
And when you blame “market conditions,” you’re reminding them they could generate their own power instead of playing your game.
Honestly… are you secretly a climate activist?
Because at this point, you’re acting like it.
All this pushing people toward renewable energy?
All this making “traditional” electricity less appealing?
All this motivating entire communities to choose cleaner options?
It’s giving… tree hugger.
Are you wearing Birkenstocks at the office?
Do you have a discreet compost bin under your desk?
Are you wearing natural deodorant while drafting the next rate hike?
If your goal was to drive mass adoption of clean energy and dramatically reduce reliance on traditional utilities… you’re doing amazing, sweetie. 💗
So really, we just wanted to say thank you to all the utility companies out there.
You’ve played a huge role in helping people discover that solar isn’t just clean — it’s financially savvy. The more you increase prices, the more everyone realizes they don’t have to rely on you forever.
Keep doing what you’re doing.
Seriously.
You’re making our job way too easy.
Love,
KC Solar
