Other Generation

If you have a generation facility with output of more than 25 kW, this could be a great option for you!

Our simultaneous buy/sell option is a billing and/or payment method where the output of your generation is metered separately from your load so we can do the following:

  • Add your electric energy output back in to your metered load when computing your billing units under your regular rate option.
  • Pay you for the entire electric energy output of your generation facility.
    -- You are paid one price for wind generation.
    -- You are paid one price for photo-voltaic generation.
    -- You are paid one price for baseload (such as methane fueled) generation.

Prices paid vary based upon summer (June 1 - September 30) and winter (October 1 - May 31) seasons.
