Net Excess Generation Notes

In months when the consumer generates more electricity than is consumed by the consumer, the Association will carry forward to the next month a kWh credit balance for the net energy received. The consumer will be billed by the association for the service availability charge and the other applicable charges of the appropriate rate schedule but with zero kWh usage for the month. For Net Meter/TOU consumers, kWh credit balances will carry forward in the respective time period (on-peak and/or off-peak)

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Sangre de Cristo Electric 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.
