Net Excess Generation Notes

Whenever the electricity generated by the Member’s distributed generation system exceeds the Member’s consumption, the Member shall be billed under residential tariff RS-8 for the Basic Facilities Charge for that billing period and credited for excess kWh generated during the billing period at Avoided Energy Cost, with this kWh credit appearing on the bill for the billing period. 

In the event a Member develops a credit balance during a billing period, the credit balance will be applied to the next month’s billing charges.
