As determined in each billing period, when a customer is a net producer of energy within any TOU block, the resulting TOU net produced energy will be used to offset consumption in other TOU blocks in the following order: Winter Super Off Peak -> Winter Off Peak -> Winter Mid-Peak -> Summer Off-Peak -> Summer Mid-Peak -> Summer On-Peak If there is remaining surplus energy after offsetting all usage in this order the surplus will be used to calculate a monetary value that shall only be applied to the customer’s monthly bill, including any minimum charges and applicable taxes. A customer is a net producer of energy when the amount of generated kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy that is exported to MVU’s system exceeds the amount that the customer receives from MVU. 29 Resolution No. 2023-88 Date Adopted: December 19th, 2023 4. The monetary value calculated is the product of the net kWh produced multiplied by the Net Surplus Compensation Rate (NSCR) found in the NCR Tariff - Schedule A. 5. The NSCR value is established by MVU to reflect the costs MVU avoids in procuring power during the time period net surplus generators are likely to produce excess power.
