Catch the ESAK KSS episode on WHAT NET METERING MEANS FOR YOU here.

𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: The first qualification is excess energy from a renewable source, but it must not exceed 1MW. You also do not need a license from EPRA, but rather, an agreement with the distribution or retail licensee.

Upon approval, the net metering agreement is valid for 5 years. In case of change of user to a new owner or occupier, the agreement will run for the remainder of the 5-year term. ̳1̳s̳t̳ ̳A̳u̳g̳u̳s̳t̳ ̳|̳|̳ ̳̳6̳:̳3̳0̳p̳m̳ ̳|̳|̳ ̳̳L̳i̳n̳k̳e̳d̳I̳n̳ ̳&̳ ̳T̳w̳i̳t̳t̳e̳r̳ ̳L̳i̳v̳e̳ ̳

There are several ways the consumer is set to benefit from net metering. One such benefit is credit for units of electrical energy exported to the licensee. However, any unused credits shall be forfeited at the end of the licensee’s financial year.

Are you a consumer with your own generation? Is it excess at times? The regulations facilitate consumers to store excess power in the grid and be able to use it in their time of need. ̳1̳s̳t̳ ̳A̳u̳g̳u̳s̳t̳ ̳|̳|̳ ̳6̳:̳3̳0̳p̳m̳ ̳E̳A̳T̳ ̳|̳|̳ ̳̳L̳i̳n̳k̳e̳d̳I̳n̳ ̳&̳ ̳T̳w̳i̳t̳t̳e̳r̳
