If the energy generated by the customer's RRGS exceeds the energy supplied by the city, the city will credit the customer's account with the net kWh received by the city during any billing period. Credits will be applied to customer's bill and will be carried forward from month to month.


The City may at its discretion reconcile the customer account on an annual basis buying-back all kWh credits at the applicable the City avoided costs (approximately $0.02 per kWh which is subject to change).

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with City of Gallup 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.
