Question: A local school district in Nevada decided to install a solar system on the roofs of each of its buildings, and generally use the power

A local school district in Nevada decided to install a solar system on the roofs of each of its buildings, and generally use the power to meet the needs of the district since it is sunny much of the year. However, the district is closed during the summertime and needs to work out a deal to sell the power back to its local energy utility. What considerations are likely to come up in negotiating a price? The utility wants to include a provision allowing it to unilaterally change the rates; can the utility do this? In addition, the school district was recently contacted by a utility in the neighboring state of California wanting to buy the district's excess energy, which would count under that California's renewable portfolio standards. What issues might come up if the district took this deal instead of the first?
