Net Excess Generation Notes

Systems sized 0 to 20 kW are net metered and trued up monthly. The co-op looks at how many kWhs were purchased by the member and how many kWhs were sold to the cooperative and trues up at the end of the month. If any excess energy is sold to the cooperative, the cooperative pays avoided costs for that excess. Avoided cost is the same rate as the cooperative can purchase energy on the market. The average avoided cost comes from our G&T power provider, Dairyland Power Cooperative. This rate varies every month and will be adjusted monthly. The rate averages $.03/kWh

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative 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.
