EnerStar's net metering program for systems under 25 KW has been fully subscribed since November 2019. Any new systems coming online will fall under our Net Billing Program (refer to Article 17). For 2024, the avoided cost credit is .05335 per kWh.
For systems 25 KW and over, you will need interconnection approval from EnerStar (Article 16), and excess generation purchases will be governed by WVPA's Distributed Generation policies. Members wishing to install a renewable energy system must own it themselves. EnerStar's bylaws do not allow for a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA.)
