—- Net Metering Scenarios —-

SITUATION 1:
I want to install a renewable energy system and sign up for net energy metering.

STEP 1: Research and decide what type of renewable energy system will best meet your needs. Enclosed is some basic information about photovoltaics, wind, hydro and biomass.

STEP 2: Contact two or three vendors to obtain comparison quotes for the installation of your renewable energy system. You should work with a licensed electrical contractor to coordinate installation of the system.

STEP 3: Review and complete the Net Energy Metering customer agreement, including obtaining the required signature from a licensed electrical contractor, certifying compliance with all safety standards.

STEP 4: Submit completed agreement to us at the following address:

STEP 5: Our Customer Installations Department will inspect your electric meter and install any special electric meter, if required.

STEP 6: Net energy metering will be activated for your account.

Situation 2:
I have already installed a renewable energy system and simply want to sign up for the net energy metering option for electric billing purposes. Skip steps 1 and 2 above. Complete Steps 3 through 6.
