GELD offers two-way net metering - we charge retail price for power used and we will pay the average monthly “on peak” wholesale price (LMP-Locational Marginal Price) on generation for any excess electricity produced. The current wholesale on-peak price has been typically between 2.0 and 5.0 cents per kilowatt hour. However, this price may vary in either direction.
