Net Metering Broken Down
Power exported to RMP's grid is credited at their retail power rate and, if more power in a month is exported than consumed the credits apply to a future bill and at the end of that 12 month cycle RMP must donate your excess exported kWhs - instead of crediting you - to their low income projects. If you are a commercial customer the utility will credit you directly at the end of the 12 months.
