Net Excess Generation Notes

Net Excess Generation shall be credited as described in 22.3.8 [Net Excess Generation shall first be credited to the Net Metering Customer’s meter to which the Net-Metering Facility is physically attached (Generation Meter).] and 22.3.9 [After application of 22.3.8 and upon request of the Net-Metering Customer pursuant to 22.3.11, any remaining Net Excess Generation shall be credited to one or more of the Net-Metering Customer’s meters (Additional Meters) in the rank order provided by the Net-Metering Customer.] during subsequent Billing Periods; the Net Excess Generation credits remaining in a Net-Metering Customer’s account at the close of a billing cycle shall not expire and shall be carried forward to subsequent billing cycles indefinitely. For Net Excess Generation credits older than twenty-four (24) months, a Net-Metering Customer may elect to have the Electric Utility purchase the Net Excess Generation credits in the NetMetering Customer’s account at the Electric Utility’s Avoided Cost plus any additional sum determined under the Net-Metering Rules, if the sum to be paid to the Net-Metering Customer is at least one hundred dollars ($100). The Electric Utility shall purchase at the Electric Utility’s Avoided Cost plus any additional sum determined under the Net-Metering Rules, any Net Excess Generation credits remaining in a Net-Metering Customer’s account when the Net-Metering Customer: 1) ceases to be a customer of the Electric Utility; 2) ceases to operate the Net-Metering Facility; or 3) transfers the Net-Metering Facility to another person. When purchasing Net Excess Generation credits from a Net-Metering Customer, the Electric Utility shall calculate the payment based on its Avoided Costs plus any additional sum determined under the Net Metering Rules for the current year.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Clay County Electric Cooperative (AR) 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.
