For EREGFs with a nameplate rating of 10 kilowatts and below

If the eligible Coopetative member is a net purchaser of electricity during the billing period, the Cooperative shall charge the member at the retail rate the eligible Cooperative member would be charged if the member was not an eligible Cooperative member.

If the eligible Cooperative member is a net seller of electricity during the billing period, the Cooperative will calculate a monetary credit for any metered excess kilowatt-hours of electric energy delivered to the Cooperative at a rate equal to the Power Supplier Energy Charge as shown on the Member's monthly bill and apply such credit against only the electric energy measured in units of kilowatt hours as denoted on a subsequent bill for service to the eligible Cooperative member. The Cooperative shall continue to carry over any unused amount of such credits and apply those credits to subsequent billing periods to offset any electric energy-related changes derived specifically from the consumption of electric energy measured in kilowatt-hours due from the eligible Cooperative member as denoted in the billing for those subsequent billing periods until all credits are used or until the end of the annual period, whichever occurs first.

At the end of the annual period that service is supplied by means of net metering, or in the event that the member terminates service with the cooperative prior to the end of the annual period, any remaining credits in the member’s account shall expire and no credit or payment shall be due to the member for such expired credits.


For EREGF’s with a nameplate rating over 10 kilowatts and less than 40 kilowatts

The Cooperative shall compensate or credit the eligible Cooperative member for any metered excess kilowatt-hours of electric energy delivered to the Cooperative at a rate equal to the Power Supplier Energy Charge as shown on the Member’s monthly bill.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Clinton County Electric Cooperative 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.
