- The calculated rate is based on ARP Renewable Generation Credit Rate/kWh + OEU’s current demand credit. The OEU demand credit value is a temporary incentive credit and is currently $0.06000/k
- Net Excess Generation Notes
Net metering adds a credit to the billing process. The customer will be billed for the total amount of electricity (kWh) delivered to the home by the utility. The customer will then be credited for the total amount of excess electricity (kWh) that is generated by the customer and delivered to the utility at a calculated rate.
Excess generation = First, the customer-owned renewable generation is used to supply the customer’s own electricity usage, offsetting the need for electricity from their utility. When the customer needs more electricity than their system generates, the deficit is purchased from the utility. Conversely, when the customer uses less electricity than their system generates, the surplus is delivered to the utility’s distribution system, metered, and compensated to the customer on future billings as a credit.
