The West Virginia Public Service Commission (PSC) approved consensus filings regarding net metering and interconnection guidelines in December 2006. The approved consensus provisions include proposed rules that apply to all electric utilities in the state. Utility tariffs incorporating the consensus net-metering provisions took effect in March 2007. In June 2010, the PSC adopted new net metering and interconnection procedures that greatly improve upon net metering. Each net-metered customer-generator with systems up to 50 kW must carry a minimum of $100,000 in liability insurance. Customers with systems greater than 50 kW up to 500 kW are required to carry a minimum of $500,000 and customers with systems greater than 500 kW must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 liability insurance. |

| Additional Information |
Systems that generate electricity using "alternative" or "renewable energy" resources are eligible for net metering, including photovoltaics (PV), wind, geothermal, biomass, landfill gas, run of the river hydropower, biofuels, fuel cells, and combined heat and power (technically called "recycled energy" in the rules). Net excess generation may be carried over to a customer-generator's next bill as a kilowatt-hour credit at retail rate and may be rolled over, indefinitely. The credits may only be applied to the energy portion of the bill. |
