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).

Oconomowoc Utilities doesn’t have any size restrictions on the size of distributed generation however the purchase of excess generation (energy not used by the owner/customer that is put back into the local distribution network) by Oconomowoc Utilities is determined by the size of the DG installation.

Excess generation by DG installations less than 20 kW in size is purchased according to the Pgs-1 tariff (attached.)

Excess generation by DG installations greater than 20 kW in size is purchased according to the Pgs-2 tariff (attached.)

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Oconomowoc 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.
