A new report and supporting spreadsheet that should be of interest to
anyone wanting to become a customer-generator using net metering:
1. The economics of net metering:
With declining equipment costs, reliability issues, and rising
environmental awareness, a growing number of individuals and businesses
are opting to produce their own electricity from grid-connected generation
facilities. In jurisdictions that permit net metering, the owners of these
facilities (the customer-generators) can supply electricity to the grid
and bank their "excess" electricity (when generation exceeds consumption)
for times when consumption exceeds generation. This paper considers the
economics of net metering and the impact of financial compensation on the
selection of generation equipment from the perspective of the
customer-generator.
