This setup will allow them to determine their own usage, and we will pay the difference either monthly or annually.We use the warehouse only a few days a month, so our power consumption will be very minimal.If this makes sense, or if there could be any legal issues, please let me know.Thank you. 

I don't sugar coat anything.OK Don't get me wrong.
