Solar Net Meter and TOD

When billed on Time-of-Day Rates, energy credits accumulate in separate banks for each time period (ex. if you produce excess energy during a Peak period, the credits are applied to the Peak period bank). New energy bank rules for net meter customers enrolled in either of our Time-of-Day Rates, (Off-Peak Rate-194 or Super Off-Peak Rate-195), will allow for transferring credits between periods. Credits earned during an Off-Peak period may be transferred to the Peak credit bank and vice versa, upon request.
