Taxing electricity will increase the cost of heating, lighting etc. It will be interesting to see how this works out.

  Then I'll just add more solar panels and go off grid

    Some countries are considering taxing your own production. In many countries the tax on fossile fuel is an important income for the state. The money needs to come from somewhere. (It seems very shortsighted to penalise expansion of solar power right now though.) http://www.energinyheter.se/20161227/15749/regeringen-svanger-om-skatt-pa-solel http://www.energinyheter.se/20161227/15749/regeringen-svange...

      If I produce solar energy to be stored in a few Tesla power walls for my own usage I don't see how they'll be able to tax me. I own and control all the hardware and monitoring and could modify accordingly.

        They estimate and tax.
