"Individual Net-Metering Systems
A. For customers who elect to wire net-metering systems such that they offset consumption on the billing meter, the billing meter establishes billing determinants for the customer’s bill based on the rate schedule for the customer.
B. If electricity consumed by the customer exceeds the electricity produced by the net‐metering system, the customer will be billed the difference, net of any credit accumulated in the preceding 12 months. Credits may not be applied to non‐bypassable charges.
C. If the electricity produced by the net-metering system exceeds the electricity consumed, the excess generation will receive a bill credit with a value explained in Section IV above.
D. Any zero, positive or negative siting or REC adjustor set forth in the net‐metering system’s CPG shall be multiplied by the kWh from the production meter and applied to the bill as a credit or charge.
E. If credits remain after being applied to all charges not identified as non-bypassable charges, such credits will be carried forward on customer bills. BED shall apply monetized credits from previous billing periods using credits that credits that are scheduled to expire soonest first. Any accumulated bill credit must be used within 12 months from the month it was earned, or it reverts to BED without compensation to the net-metering customer. Bill credits may not be transferred independently of a transfer of ownership of a net-metering system."
