... Net metering customers of Nevada Power, part of NV Energy, have seen their monthly service charge climb to $17.90 from $12.75 under the new tariff...

... Net metering allows rooftop solar customers to receive a credit for the excess power their systems generate.

Customers have to pay NV Energy a monthly service charge to get a credit on their electric bill

this makes no sense to me....

Of course it makes sense. Haven't you ever received an email from a 21 year-old Ghanian heiress whose dead father's $3.4 million estate can be moved to your US bank account, where you can keep 15%, if only you pony up $2,400 for document prep?

It's done all the time.
