Net Excess Generation Notes

The net excess energy generated during the billing period by the Customer and supplied to the Cooperative’s system may be valued based upon the avoided cost of wholesale electric power purchased by the Cooperative. The valuation shall include energy charges, capacity charges, and any other applicable charges. The value shall be the avoided cost which shall be determined annually by dividing the total cost of purchased power by the total energy (kWh) purchased. The net excess energy generated during the billing period by the Customer and supplied to the Cooperative’s system may be credited to the Customers’ account at this rate.


All Customer net metering accounts shall be cleared (i.e., returned to a $0.0 balance) once per calendar year. For each 12-month period ending in April, any remaining credit in the Customers’ accounts shall be refunded directly to the respective Customer.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Consumers Power 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.
