Net Excess Generation Notes

Currently NGEMC does not pay for excess generation pushed back to the grid. The TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) Dispersed Power Production program (DPP) is the only option to receive payback. If you participate in this program, you will be charged $5.25 a month for NGEMC to report the data to TVA for you to get paid. Visit the following link to review current program rates and guidelines:

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with North Georgia EMC 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.
