Net Metering

Net Excess Generation Notes

The customer shall be billed monthly on a net energy basis and shall pay the fixed charge and energy charge specified in the rate schedule under which he is served. If, in any month, the customer’s bill has a credit balance of $25 or less, the amount shall be credited to subsequent bills until a debit balance is reestablished. If the credit balance is more than $25, the utility shall reimburse the customer by check upon request. Monthly credits shall be computed by taking the net excess kilowatt-hours produced times the sum of the applicable energy charge plus monthly power cost adjustment clause (PCAC).

A customer who is served under a regular rate schedule shall have any ratchet and/or other device removed from his meter to allow reverse power flow and measurement of net energy used. Customers eligible for net energy billing but with existing metering facilities equipped with ratchets or other devices preventing reverse registration (i.e. time-of-use metering facilities) may request that the utility install the necessary metering to permit such billing.

Meter Spot Process

Any PV installation directly or indirectly connected to the utility distribution network has the potential to send power back on to the grid. The utility is required by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission to purchase any excess generation and so all connected distributed generation is required to be metered according to the WI PSC

There is not a separate PV production meter. A bi-directional meter will be installed by the utility.

Installing a bi-directional meter for grid-connected DG applications is a standard practice.

Allowed Meter Adapter

None
