"Any excess energy is used to future bills. We allow up to one year to use the excess and we use the oldest ones first. This is done automatically. The credits are only to KWH usage so they will always get a minimum monthly charge and any lights will be charged as well"

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