Net Metering Programs


Net metering is used to measure a customer's total electric consumption against that customer's total on-site electric production. When on-site production exceeds use, the customer sends electricity to the grid, and when use exceeds production, the customer uses electricity from the grid. The customer then pays the local electric provider only for the net electricity consumed.
