Net Excess Generation Notes

The City will net meter all energy consumed by the customer and produced by the customer’s generation system. Net metering shall be, for billing purposes, the net consumption as measured at the service meter on a monthly basis. All excess energy generated, expressed in kilowatt-hours, shall be carried forward from month to month and credited against the customer’s energy consumption, expressed in kilowatt-hours, in subsequent months. In the event that a negative net consumption balance remains at the time of the customer’s December billing, the City will pay the customer for such negative balances at the Self-Generation Buyback Credit for December Billing Only Rate.
