Net Excess Generation Notes

For energy delivered by the Utility to the customer at the meter, as reflected in the meter reading, shall be billed at the Utility’s appropriate full retail energy rate. For any excess energy generated by the customer from an approved on-site generating facility and delivered by the customer to the Utility at the meter, as reflected in the meter reading, a credit shall be created and applied to the customer’s bill based upon the lesser of the full retail energy rate for the customer class and the avoided cost of energy. 

The City shall carry over any unused credits earned and apply those credits to subsequent billing periods to offset usage based electric energy (kWh) charges only for electric energy supplied to the customer by the Utility until all credits are used or until the end of the annual period. The annual period shall end each year on April 30.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with City of Peru 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.
