Net Metering: Solar & Other Member Generation

Net metering is available to Blachly-Lane Electric Cooperative members who own and operate a facility that generates electricity from a renewable source such as hydro, wind, and/or solar. Solar systems are the most common type of homeowner installed renewable power source. Net Metering facilities are intended to offset or meet all of your own electrical requirements.

How it Works

Net Metering measures the difference between the electricity you buy from Blachly-Lane and the electricity you generate using your renewable generating equipment. If the facility generates more electricity than you use, Blachly-Lane credits you its avoided costs for wholesale electric power, as found in the Avoided Costs Rate Schedule. You can find the most recent Avoided Costs Rate Schedule in the Resources section of the Electric Rates page.
