When a net metering member's renewable generator is producing more power than is being consumed, the electric meter runs backward, which in turn generates credits. Conversely, the meter runs forward as normal when a net metering customer uses more power than is being produced. Net metering members are charged only for the ""net"" power consumed from CVEC over a designated period.
Cooperative, upon written request of the net metering customer, shall enter into an agreement to purchase excess generation for the requested net metering periods at a price equal to the simple average of the Cooperative’s hourly avoidable cost of energy.
Net metering customers own the RECs associated with their renewable fuel generators. A net metering customer wishing to sell its RECs to the Cooperative may do so by exercising a one-time only option, at the time it executes the power purchase agreement with the Cooperative, to include a provision requiring the purchase by the supplier of all generated RECs over the duration of the power purchase agreement.
