Net Excess Generation Notes

The Consumer shall use the output of the Electric Generating Facility first to meet the requirements of Consumer’s electric consuming facilities located on the Premises. The Power Company shall use an instantaneous kWh net billing period to measure the Consumer’s net production. The net production output shall be measured by determining during each such period the production in kilowatt-hours (kWh) of the Electric Generating Facility in excess of the requirements of the Consumer’s electric consumer facilities.


Per billing period, Excess energy will be purchased by Buckeye Power, Inc at their purchase rate (determined by Buckeye Power, Inc.). In the event that at the end of the annual period ending May 31 of each year the aggregate dollar amount of the billing credits for such year exceeds the aggregate dollar amount of the Power Company’s charges to the Consumer for such year, the Power Company shall issue a check to the Consumer for such excess dollar amount.
