Net Excess Generation Notes

Energy generated by the customer-owned generator during the billing period may supply all or a portion of the energy required by the customer’s load. The customer shall be credited for excess energy delivered by the customer to RMU at the meter from the approved on-site generating facility.

For any energy generated by the customer in excess of the energy required by the customer’s loads for a given billing period a credit shall be carried forward to the customer’s next billing period.

RMU shall carry over any unused credits earned and apply those credits to subsequent billing periods to offset usage based electric energy (kWh) charges only for electric energy supplied to the customer by RMU until all credits are used or until the end of the annual period. The annual period shall end each year on December 31.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Rochelle Municipal 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.
