Net Excess Generation Notes

If the electricity generated by the Customer exceeds consumption and is distributed back to TMLP during the billing period, then the Customer shall be billed for the same monthly service charge as applied to other customers of the TMLP in the same rate class; not be charged any kilowatt hours taken from TMLP and shall be credited for the net excess kilowatt hours generated as applied to the generation and Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) charges during the billing period; with this kilowatt-hour credit appearing on Customer’s bill for the following billing period.

(Consumption from TMLP) - (Excess Generation put onto the TMLP Grid*) - (PCA Cost) + (TMLP Monthly Service Charge) = Your Invoice Amount *Excess generation is credited at the ‘generation charge’ for your rate. Please see TMLP rate sheets for the exact amount: https://www.tmlp.com/electric/rates/

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant 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.
