Net Excess Generation Notes

With 'Net' metering, your electric meter tracks the total energy that is consumed from Citizens' Electric every month, as well as how much is exported back onto our system. At the end of the month, if you have exported more than you have used, you won't be billed for any kWh, and the extra energy will be added to a 'bank' that you can track on your bills. If, in a later month, you use more than you export, we'll apply kWh from your bank against your net usage for that month. You'll never lose a kWh that your system generates. The Energy Year ("EY") for Net Metering is the 12-month period from every June 1st through the following May 31st. On or after May 31, we check each net metering customer account to see if there is any remaining banked usage. If there is, we'll issue a check for the kWh in the bank based on our Price-to-Compare ("PTC") in effect when the energy was banked.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Citizen's Electric Company 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.
