- Net Excess Generation Notes
Any member generation in excess of their monthly kWh consumption will accumulate as “banked” kWh credits. During months in which a member’s consumption exceeds the amount generated, available banked kWh credits will be deducted from their account. Once depleted, remaining energy consumption will be billed at the energy rates established by this schedule. Banked energy credits will be available until consumed.
