Net Excess Generation Notes

To the extent the net consumption is negative (i.e. Customer-generator produced more kWh during the billing period than the Cooperative supplied), the Customer-generator will pay applicable Customer Charges, Demand Charges, and/or any Minimum Charges that would otherwise be applicable to the Customer under the standard rate; and the excess electric energy shall be retained by the supplier as a contribution to fixed costs associated with owning and maintaining the facilities required to provide electric service when the Customer-generator cannot meet its own supply needs

System Offset Notes

Per utility regarding 12 months consumption history

"If a prospective customer is not able to provide you with his 12-month usage history, I would recommend that you contact me to calculate the appropriate sizing per our formula to save you from doing all the work to send the application and plans for a system that is larger than we will approve for interconnection. We do have some line sections that have reached the maximum interconnection and no further interconnection is allowed, so that’s something else that I can check proactively."

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Flint Hills Rural ECA 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.
