Net metering & export

Net Metering Allowed: Yes

NEM Type: Monthly

TOU Utility: No

Post Solar Billing Method: Net Metering

Net Excess Generation Notes: The credit to the customer shall not exceed the dollar amount the City of Hudson bills the customer for energy consumption in any billing period. Instead, the net excess dollar amount shall be allowed to accumulate as a net excess generation (NEG) credit to offset the customer’s energy charges in the next billing period. The credit will be adjusted based on the currently used power cost adjustment. Net excess generation (NEG) credits, if any, will be carried over from month to month. Following the customer’s December billing cycle, the customer’s credit balance will be reset to zero. Any unused net excess generation (NEG) credits will be retained by the City of Hudson to offset costs associated with the operation of the net metering program.
