Net Excess Generation Notes

If the amount of the electricity fed back to MW&L during the billing period by Customer-generator exceeds the amount of electricity supplied by MW&L to Customer-generator, then MW&L will bill Customer generator the minimum monthly charge(s) paid by other customers of MW&L in the same rate class as Customer-generator and carry forward to the next billing period a credit for the excess kilowatt-hour generation fed back to MW&L. For the billing cycle ending at end of fiscal year, June 30, any remaining unused kilowatt-hour credit accumulated during the previous year shall be credited to the Customer-generators at MW&L’s then applicable avoided energy cost rates, as determined in the sole discretion of MW&L.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with McMinnville Water & Light 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.
