Net Excess Generation Notes

We currently offer two solar rates:

Sell All - Requires the installation of a separate service. All energy generated is then metered and purchased by HEMC at 4.4¢ kWh.

Sell Excess - Electricity generated by the solar panels is consumed by the house first, and any excess/leftover electricity is purchased by Haywood EMC at 4.4¢ kWh.

Each month your bill will include a line item named “Renewable Generation Credit” listing the amount purchased back by Haywood EMC.

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