Net Excess Generation Notes

There will be two meters at the customer’s service location, one additive and one subtractive. The bill shall be calculated using the net amount used. If the amount of kWh on the subtractive meter exceeds the additive meter, the amount of kWh sold to BREC shall be compensated as a credit limited to the Generation & Transmission component of the bill.

The Consumer shall use the output of the Electric Generating Facility first to meet the requirements of Consumer’s electric consuming facilities located on the Premises. Any output of the Electric Generating Facility in excess of the requirements of Consumer’s electric consuming facilities shall be transferred to the Power Company and credited against the Consumer’s bill for electric service. Consumer shall only be entitled to receive a billing credit ($) for any such output of the Electric Generating Facility in excess of the requirements of the Consumer’s facilities, and in no event shall the Consumer be entitled to receive any payment from the Power Company for any such excess output of the Electric Generating Facility.
