hrough net metering, you can save money by generating power with renewable energy, like wind or solar.
To become a net-metered customer – and before you buy or install a renewable energy system – you need to apply to connect your energy source to the electricity grid.
After your application’s approved, and once your renewable energy system is installed and connected to the grid, the electricity company will read your meter and calculate your bill by:
- subtracting the value of electricity you supplied from what you used, or
- giving you a credit if you supplied more electricity than you used (credits can be carried over to future bills for up to 12 months)
For more information, contact your electricity company.
