Net Excess Generation Notes

The value of that amount of electric energy delivered by Member-Generator to Cooperative’s system in excess of the amount of electric energy delivered to the Member-Generator by the Cooperative shall be determined by multiplying the number of excess kWh delivered by Member-Generator to Cooperative by the average monthly avoided fuel cost of Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AECI) during the billing period. The Member-Generator shall receive credits equal to the value of the electric energy delivered to Cooperative. Credits will be applied to the next billing period following issuance of the credits. The credits shall expire without any compensation at the earlier of either twelve months after their issuance or when the Member-Generator disconnects service or terminates the net metering relationship with Cooperative. Member-Generator agrees that credits will be applied to the billing statement for the meter location to which the Member-Generator system is connected.
