Customer Generation ( Net Metering )


Total Votes: 2 / Interest: 173

Through a program called net metering, residential, small business and industrial customers can generate their own electricity, up to 1 megawatt, to supplement the supply they get from Vectren. When a net metering customer's renewable generator is producing more power than is being consumed, the customer essentially generates credits toward the bill. When a net metering customer uses more power than is being produced, the meter records the usage in the standard fashion. Net metering customers are charged only for the "net" power they consume from Vectren which has accumulated over a designated period or, if their renewable energy-generating systems make more electricity than is consumed, they may be credited for the excess electricity contributed to the grid over that same period.
