USBIA-San Carlos Project Electricity Rates

Netmetering?

Net metering is a billing arrangement that allows solar system owners to receive credits for the excess electricity they generate and send back to the grid. When your solar panels produce more electricity than you need, the surplus is automatically fed back into the grid. The utility company then credits you for the excess energy, which can offset or reduce your future electricity bills.

Residential (APS, TEP,UNS) & Small Commercial (TEP, UNS): Excess generation credited at an ACC-approved rate, phasing down to an avoided cost rate. Current export compensation rates are 10.45 cents/kWh (APS), 8.68 cents/kWh (TEP), and 10.35 cents/kWh (UNS).NEG is carried forward and paid out at the end of the annual period if the credit balance exceeds a certain amount. Non-Residential: Retail rate export compensation. NEG is carried forward and paid out to the customer at the end of the annual period at the avoided cost rate.
