PECO's Net Metering process is completely independent of PECO's efforts to comply with AEPS regulations in Pennsylvania. Please reference PECO's Net Metering and Interconnection Information for more details and contact information.
PECO buys back renewable energy produced by customers via its Net Metering (RS-2) tariff. Under this tariff, customers can install renewable generation that they can then use to offset their usage from PECO. If any excess is produced, PECO must provide a credit to those customers.
In order to do this, two meters must be installed. PECO refers to this as "Net Metering". One meter measures the energy supplied by PECO to the customer, and the other measures the energy produced by the customer and provided back to PECO.
To utilize net metering, a customer would work with a contractor to purchase renewable generation. That contractor would work with PECO operations personnel to approve and connect the generation to the PECO distribution system.
As stated above, please reference PECO's Net Metering and Interconnection Information for more details on the installation process, PECO's Net Metering (RS-2) tariff, and associated contact information
