Net Metering Systems
Net Metering Systems
Net Metering is a greener option for Hydro customers to lower or even zero their electricity bill. It is a system which uses renewable energy sources such as solar panels and/or wind turbines at private residences or businesses to generate and consume their own power.
A special hydro meter connects this system to the grid and monitors the electricity produced. Any excess power generated can be credited forward for a consecutive 12 month period to offset the cost of their electricity bill.
Systems up to 10KW are available to Hydro clientele and are designed in accordance to their current and expanding needs. The net metering program offers the ability to freeze rising electricity costs and eliminate time of use consumption for many years to come.
