Net Excess Generation Notes

Member generation in excess of monthly energy usage, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) multiplied by the Net Metering Energy Rate, will be carried forward on a monthly basis as a generation credit and will be applied to the member’s monthly billed Energy Charge. This credit can be carried forward up to twelve (12) consecutive months, ending on the Net Metering year as determined by United Electric. At the end of the Net Metering year any remaining accumulated generation credit shall be given to United Electric without compensation to the member.

System Offset Notes

They recently changed it to 100% offset OR up to 25 kW (whichever is less).

TDR Process We require a temporary disconnect connected to or integrated into the meter base. It must be properly labeled. I believe this will be required to pass the state inspection.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with United Electric Cooperative, Inc. (ID) before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
