Net Excess Generation Notes

We install a bi-directional AMI meter. This will read the energy delivered to the customer as well as the energy delivered to HUC. The energy is net metered throughout a 30 day billing period and the customer is only invoiced for the energy consumed from HUC. In the event there is more energy delivered to HUC than consumed, HUC will credit the customers account at a rate of $.0809/kwh

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Hutchinson Utilities 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.
