Net Excess Generation Notes

Net monthly sales of electric energy delivered to the C-G shall be at the Association’s standard monthly rate including any Facilities Charge or minimum as applicable to the customer class. In the event the net monthly electric energy produced by the C-G and delivered back onto the Association’s system exceeds the monthly electric energy delivered to the C-G by the Association, such excess electric energy delivered to the Association shall be carried forward as an electric energy credit for the following month. However, in no event shall the C-G’s monthly electric bill be less than the greater of the consumer’s monthly minimum or the monthly Facilities Charge. Within sixty days after the end of each annual period, defined as April 1 through March 31, or within sixty days after the Consumer terminates retail service, the Association shall pay the Consumer for any remaining unused energy credit balance accumulated. The rate for payment shall be the Association’s most recent avoided cost of power. The avoided cost of power shall be calculated annually for the twelve-month period ending December 31. The current avoided cost is published on the Association’s website.
