Net Excess Generation Notes

Excess customer-owned renewable generation shall be delivered to the Utility’s electric distribution system. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “excess customer-owned renewable generation” means any kWh of electrical energy produced by the customer-owned renewable generation system that is not consumed by Customer and is delivered to Utility’s electric distribution system. FMPA agrees to purchase and receive, and Customer agrees to sell and deliver, all excess customer-owned renewable generation at the energy rate established by FMPA, which shall be calculated in accordance with Appendix B. Excess customer-owned renewable generation shall be purchased in the form of a credit on Customer’s monthly energy consumption bill from Utility.

In the event that a given monthly credit for excess customer-owned renewable generation exceeds the total billed amount for Customer’s consumption in any corresponding month, then the excess credit shall be applied to the subsequent month’s bill. Excess energy credits produced pursuant to the preceding sentence shall accumulate and be used to offset Customer’s energy consumption bill for a period of not more than twelve (12) months.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with City of Leesburg Electric Department 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.
