Net Excess Generation Notes

If the customer generates more energy than consumed during a monthly billing cycle, the customer shall receive an energy credit in kWh for the next billing month to offset consumption in the subsequent billing periods until all credits are used. During any subsequent billing period prior to the end of an annualized billing period, the equivalent excess energy kWh will result in the reduction of cost paid by the customer for the crediting of volumetric energy kWh.

Monthly credit shall be applicable to energy only. Excess energy credits at the end of a 12 month period established at the discretion of the Borough, shall be credited in dollars and calculated by multiplying excess kWh credits by the average Borough’s all in wholesale electric rate over the previous 12 month period. This average wholesale Borough electric rate shall be based on the previous 12 month supplier costs to the Borough. Regardless of the in service date of the installation, the 12 month period shall be set by the Borough. The customer shall be required to pay all applicable charges including customer, capacity, tax and any purchased power adjustment.
