Net Excess Generation Notes

If the power output (kW) of the customer generation exceeds the load (kW) of the customer premises at any time during a billing cycle, the resulting energy (kWh) returning to the City’s system will be netted against the energy (kWh) consumed by the customer during that same billing cycle. If during a billing cycle the netted amount is a credit, this energy will be carried forward and applied to the usage in the next billing cycle. If no energy is used or the net result is a credit, the customer will pay the Customer Charge for the billing period.

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