Net Excess Generation Notes

Excess generation is defined as the kWh that was exported to the utility that wasn't used during the day (when electricity was generated),the coop will purchase the excess kWh at a fixed rate which will then show as credit in the customer's utility bill. It is extremely rare for the customer to have a negative energy charge, but if they do have then the credit (in $) will rollover to the next month's bill.

No sizing limitation (up to 2 MW) but if the project triggers a Transformer Upgrade, then it will be the customer's responsibility to install the transformer. It will be an on-site transformer isolated from the rest of the members.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Horry Electric Cooperative, Inc 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.
