What happens to any excess generation?

At the time of interconnection, the net energy metering system must be designed so that the annual generation capacity of the system does not exceed the previous 12 months' electricity usage supplied by the cooperative resulting in no excess generation for the Net Metering Period.

However, due to varying circumstances related to when the system was interconnected and other operational considerations it is possible that excess generation may be accumulated at the end of the Net Metering Period.

In order to provide our net energy metering members the opportunity to optimize the use of their system’s output, a portion of that excess generation, not to exceed the total electricity supplied by A&N Electric Cooperative over the Net Metering Period, may be carried over to the next Net Metering Period.

Any additional excess generation will be “zeroed out” without credit prior to the new Net Metering Period.
