Net Excess Generation Notes

The customer will be billed for the total amount of electricity delivered to the home by the utility. The customer will then be credited for the total amount of excess electricity that is generated by the customer and delivered to the utility. In the event that a customer’s credit for its self-generation is greater than its bill for utility electricity, the excess credit amount will be applied to the following month’s bill. The customer’s monthly bill will reflect the net of electricity purchased from the utility versus electricity sold to the utility.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Clewiston Utilities before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
