| Additional Information | Utah requires all investor-owned utilities and most electric cooperatives to offer net metering to customers that generate electricity using solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, hydrogen, biomass, landfill gas or geothermal energy. Net metering is available for residential systems up to 25 kilowatts (kW) in capacity and non-residential systems up to two megawatts (MW) in capacity. Net metering is limited to 0.1% of each utility's peak demand during 2007. The PSC and electric cooperatives are authorized to raise the aggregate limit. If a customer generates more electricity than the customer uses during a billing period, then the utility must credit the customer for the net excess generation (NEG) at a rate equal to the utility's avoided cost or higher. Customer NEG is carried over to the next customer's next monthly bill during a 12-month period. Any customer NEG remaining at the end of an annualized period is granted to the utility. Investor-owned utilities may not levy additional charges or fees on net-metered customers, unless authorized to do so by the PSC. Electric cooperatives may not levy additional charges unless authorized by its board of directors. Members of a cooperative who disagree with the charges approved by the board of directors may file a complaint with the PSC after filing a complaint with the cooperative's board or directors. |
