| Additional Information | In March 2008, the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) adopted rules for net metering and interconnection for renewable-energy systems up to two megawatts (MW) in capacity. The PSC rules apply only to the state's investor-owned utilities; the rules do not apply to electric cooperatives or municipal utilities. Under the PSC rules, qualified renewable energy generators are categorized into three tiers: Tier 1: 10 kilowatts (kW) or less Tier 2: Larger than 10 kW, but not larger than 100 kW Tier 3: Larger than 100 kW, but not larger than 2 MW Customer net excess generation (NEG) is carried forward at the utility's retail rate (i.e., as a kilowatt-hour credit) to a customer's next bill for up to 12 months. At the end of a 12-month billing period, the utility pays the customer for any remaining NEG at the utility's avoided-cost rate. Renewable energy credits (RECs) remain with system owner, and customers may sell RECs back to the utility. There is no stated aggregate capacity limit for net-metered systems. |
