[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3528481, member: 26737"] OEC has two "tiers" for what they call "distributed generation." For systems 300kW and under, they do Net Metering, where the meter can actually run backward as you're generating electricity, so they do sometimes buy at retail rates. If you generate more than you use, they credit it at "avoided energy cost" rates, which apparently comes from Western Farmers Electric Coop. (OEC's FAQ links to a page at WFEC that no longer exists, so I'm not sure what avoided energy cost rates are.) If your generation is over 300kW (or if your generation regularly exceed 125% of your usage), they install a separate meter and then they do buy at wholesale rates. [/QUOTE]
