Net Metering Allowed: Yes

Net Excess Generation Notes: In the event the energy generated by the facility exceeds the energy consumed on the member’s premises, the excess may be distributed to Ohop Mutual’s grid through Ohop Mutual’s meter, causing the member’s meter to run backward. In no case will a credit be issued for negative usage. Instead, a bill for zero usage will be issued and negative Kwh will be “banked” for usage by the member in a subsequent month. Any banked Kwh remaining on April 30th of each calendar year shall be donated to Ohop Mutual Light Company.
