Summary
Bastrop is shaking up its solar rules starting October 1st by adding a new monthly fee while still giving you credits for the extra power your panels send back to the grid. If you've got rooftop solar or are thinking about going green, you'll definitely want to see how these changes alter your utility bill.

Impact analysis
Your monthly utility bill is going to change because you'll get credits for excess energy, but you'll also have to pay a brand-new monthly fee.
Local utility companies benefit by securing a steady stream of revenue from the new monthly fee.
Rooftop solar owners take a hit since the new monthly fee eats into the savings they expected from generating their own power.
