Net-metering members are defined as members who have placed a type of distributed generation which is no greater than 50 kW behind the Cooperative’s meter. A member qualifying for this rate will receive credit in kWh generated against kWh consumed in one billing period. Kilowatt-hour credits will only offset up to the amount of kWh consumed in each billing period. All other applicable charges will be billed.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with South Plains Electric Cooperative, Inc. 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.
