Net Excess Generation Notes

Excess generation credits shall accumulate and be used to offset the members energy usage in subsequent monthly billing cycles for a period of not more than twelve months.


If the electricity consumed by the member during the billing period exceeds the electricity generated by the members RGS during the billing period, then all electricity generated by the members RGS generation shall be deemed to have been used onsite. If the electricity generated by the members RGS during the billing period exceeds the electricity consumed by the member, then the excess NET energy that is delivered to the cooperative shall be credited at the amount published in Rate Schedule QF-1.


At the end of each calendar year, the cooperative shall credit the member of any unused energy credits.


Any system approved before June 2021 will fall under NM-1, which is $0.10 kWh. Systems after will go under NM-2, which is 2.8 kWh. Any excess generation will be applied to the next month bill

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Talquin Electric Cooperative 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.
