Section R14-2-2306. Billing for Net Metering

A.      On a monthly basis, the Net Metering Customer shall be billed or credited based upon the rates applicable under the Cus- tomer’s currently effective standard rate schedule  and any appropriate rider schedules.

B.       The billing period for Net Metering will be the same as the billing period under the Customer’s applicable standard rate schedule.

C.      If the kWh supplied by the Electric Utility exceed the kWh that are generated by the Net Metering Facility and delivered

Corporation Commission – Fixed Utilities

back to the Electric Utility during the billing period, the Cus- tomer shall be billed for the net kWh supplied by the Electric Utility in accordance with the rates and charges under the Cus- tomer’s standard rate schedule.

D.      If the electricity generated by the Net Metering Customer exceeds the electricity supplied by the Electric Utility in the billing period, the Customer shall be credited during the next billing period for the excess kWh generated. That is,  the excess kWh during the billing period will be used to reduce the kWh supplied (not kW or kVA demand or customer charges) and billed by the Electric Utility during the following billing period.

E.       Customers taking service under time-of-use rates who are to receive credit in a subsequent billing period for excess kWh generated shall receive such credit during the next billing period during the on- or off-peak periods corresponding to the on- or off-peak periods in which the kWh were generated by the Customer.

F.       Once each calendar year the Electric Utility shall issue a check or billing credit to the Net Metering Customer for the balance of any credit due in excess of amounts owed by the Customer to the Electric Utility. The payment for any remaining credits shall be at the Electric Utility’s Avoided Cost. That Avoided Cost shall be clearly identified in the Electric Utility’s Net Metering tariff.
