Net Excess Generation Notes

All monthly charges shall be in accordance with the standard billing schedule under which the customer takes service. Such charges shall be based on the customer’s net energy for the billing period, to the extent that the net energy exceeds zero. If the customer’s net energy for the billing period is zero or negative, the customer shall pay only the charges from the standard rate schedule not based on energy consumption (kWh). The customer shall receive no compensation from the City for excess generation (“negative net energy”) during the billing period. The negative net energy will be carried forward and credited against positive energy usage in subsequent billing periods. 

Negative net energy is not transferable, and the customer shall receive no compensation from the City for any negative net energy upon termination of service from the City.
