Net Excess Generation Notes

"Effective October 1, 2019, each monthly billing period Salem Electric will charge a member-generator the monthly facilities charge and all applicable charges for the net electricity that Salem Electric delivered. If in a monthly billing period a member-generator has supplied to Salem Electric more electricity than Salem Electric has delivered to the member-generator, Salem Electric will apply the excess kWhs as a cumulative credit to the member-generator’s monthly bill. Salem Electric will apply such credit at the avoided cost rate for each component on the bill that uses kWhs as the billing determinant.

Systems installed prior to October 1, 2019, will be paid on an annual true-up through April 1, 2040. For the billing cycle ending in March of each year, or at any other time the member discontinues service at the net-metered account, if any unused credits accumulated during the previous 12 months remain, Salem Electric will pay the member-generator an amount equal to the unused credited kWhs times the average wholesale price of power purchased by Salem Electric. Modifications of existing net-metered PV systems that require a new net-metering agreement immediately revokes the application of annual true-up credit, changing the credit determination to a monthly true up credit. The annual true up is non-transferrable. After April 2040, all net-metered PV systems will have a monthly true up.

Metering & disconnect

Meter Spot Process

Temporary Disconnect Reconnect Process (TDR) As long as it's during business hours it's free. If we have to reconnect after hours, there is an overtime charge that can range from $250-500. If the work requires an electrical inspection, we will not reconnect until it's inspected or unless a licensed electrician signs a reconnect form.
