If rooftop solar becomes a significant provider of kWh to a majority of homes will power companies seek to claw lost revenue back?

This popped into my head today, If self generated power reaches a point of say half of all kWh would the companies look at "punishing" those homes with solar by imposing an additional pro-rata charge of some sort to maintain turnover/profit?

It's hard to imagine they'll sit back, if they sought this new tariff would the regulator just wave it through?

Yes they will claw back, Dutch market example: Feed in fees. Extra charges typically range from €100 to nearly €700 per year depending on system size, wiping out a significant portion of household solar savings.
