rate that I pay.. However the lowest or tier one rate I think will be the

Are you sure about this? Around here, once you have offset your

Locally, under the old PURPA rules, the power company paid
the producer 'avoided cost' which was a very low, bogus
number like 3c KWhr. I don't know what the current rules
are.
