Net Excess Generation Notes

Net metering will be accomplished using a single meter or pair of meters capable of registering the flow of electricity in each direction from the Power Company Distribution System to Consumer’s electric consuming facilities located on the Premises, and from Consumer’s Electric Generating Facility to the Power Company Distribution System.


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. The Power Company shall use an instantaneous kWh net billing period to measure the Consumer’s net production. The net production output shall be measured by determining during each such period the production in kilowatt-hours (kWh) of the Electric Generating Facility in excess of the requirements of the Consumer’s electric consumer facilities. Any such output of the Electric Generating Facility in excess of the requirements of Consumer’s electric consuming facilities shall be sold to Buckeye Power, Inc. The Power Company shall bill the net electric usage pursuant to the Power Company’s applicable Net Billing Rate Schedule, and credit the net electric output at Buckeye’s purchase rate, on a dollar for dollar basis.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Butler REC (OH) 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.
