Net Excess Generation Notes

The net consumption as measured at the Association’s service meter but shall not be less than zero. Any such negative amount shall be carried forward and applied against the subsequent month’s billing. At the beginning of the month of April every year, any remaining unused credit balance accumulated during the previous year shall be paid to the C-G. Within sixty (60) days of each annual period, the Association shall account for any accrued excess energy generation, expressed in kilowatt-hours, for the immediately preceding annual period (April through March) and pay the C-G for such energy at the wholesale energy rate as set by the Association’s power supplier for the month in which the excess occurred.
