Net Metering Residential - Single Phase

What this tariff charges

Energy rates

The charged price is the base rate plus its adjustment. Adjustments carry fuel and rider costs and are frequently most of the bill, so a comparison built on the base rate alone is meaningless.

What it costs at different usage levels

Effective rate includes the fixed charge, which is why it falls as usage rises. This is a time-of-use tariff, so the result also depends on when power is used; an average residential pattern is assumed. Details →

The utility's own description

Available to residential members, where a member-owned renewable energy generation system (wind-powered, photovoltaic, or micro-hydro) with a nameplate rating up to 25 kilowatts (kW), that is designed to offset all or a portion of the electrical requirements normally provided by the Cooperative, has been installed on the member’s side of the meter; and where the renewable energy generation system is interconnected with and operated in parallel with the Cooperative’s distribution system, and the member’s intent is to purchase all power requirements from the Cooperative, net of any power generated by the members’ renewable energy system in any given month, and where the member owns the property where electrical service is received from and delivered to the Cooperative. The excess renewable energy delivered to the Cooperative will be credited by the Cooperative to the member’s account on a monthly basis, not to offset the Grid Service Charge. Excess renewable energy credits not used in the current billing month to reduce kWh usage shall be accumulated and used to reduce usage in future months. Annually with the May billing cycle or at time of final billing of the account, the member will be compensated for any accumulated excess renewable energy credits not used to reduce billed kWh usage at the current net billing rider credit rate, and the accumulated excess renewable energy credits will then be set to zero. Excess renewable energy credits will begin accruing again during the June billing cycle. The issuance of credits under this Rate conveys to the Cooperative the right to Renewable Energy Credits (RECS) or “green tags” associated with the energy delivered to the Cooperative by the member available: Single-phase, 120/240 Volts, or Three-phase, 208Y/120 Volts, or Three-phase, three wire, 240 Volts Prospective members should ascertain the available supply voltage at the nearest Cooperative office before acquiring equipment.
