Net Excess Generation Notes

If electricity generated by the customer’s system (kWh received) exceeds the electricity delivered by R.P.S. (kWh delivered) during a billing period, R.P.S. will buy back the excess kWh at the current wholesale delivered energy rate (including transmission costs). The buyback will appear as a credit on the customer’s bill during the next billing period.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Raton Utilities 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.
