In the event the net metering is negative, as when the customer’s generation system production is greater than the customer’s consumption, the net negative consumption will be calculated using the monthly Avoided Cost Rate from ARPA; that credit will be applied toward the monthly electric bill, at one (1) kWh for each kWh generated above the customer’s consumption

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with City of Trinidad (CO) 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.
