EPUD - Net Metering

December 16, 2003

Summary

Emerald People's Utility District (EPUD) offers customers a net metering program whereby customers may generate electricity to offset their own load and receive credit for any excess electricity put into the Emerald PUD grid.

Net metering is available to systems sized 25 kW or less. The maximum output of the system is not to exceed 100% of the average annual use over the last three years at the site. Eligible facilities are those generating electricity from solar, wind, fuel cells, hydroelectric, landfill gas, digester gas, waste, dedicated energy, and biomass. 

Unused net metering credits are transferred to Emerald's low-income assistance program at the end of the year.
