The energy (KWh) you put onto the grid each month is given the same weight as the energy you withdraw from the grid. That is, KWh “received” by SMPA is worth the same as a KWh “delivered” by SMPA. This 1:1 creditng will follow the retail rate that is associated with your account.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with San Miguel Power Association 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.
