The customer’s bill will be calculated by subtracting the credit to the customer from the Cooperative’s charges to the customer. If the credit to the customer is greater than the Cooperative’s charges to the customer, the customer’s bill shall be zero for the current billing cycle with the difference credited to the customer in subsequent billing cycles. When the customer discontinues Net Metering Rate service, any unused credit will revert to the Cooperative.
