Rate description did not provide a breakdown of post-solar billing mechanism. When I spoke with an engineering representative at the utility, they stated specifically that it was not NET metering and that they credit at the avoided costs of $.3005/kWh exported to the grid.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Norris 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.
