About
Customers who own their own electric renewable generation systems may connect to our distribution system, as long as they follow procedures that have been adopted to safely protect the customer and Manitoba Hydro. Customer owned generation (10 MW or less, at a voltage no greater than 25 kV) refers to electricity production that is created by the customer using renewable energy (e.g. wind or solar) or non-renewable energy (e.g. fossil fuels). This generation must meet applicable provincial, federal, and municipal licenses, permits, and approvals. If a generator produces less than 200 kW, we will purchase excess energy at the standard residential run-off rate. For generators producing 200 kW or greater, we will negotiate a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the generator based on hours of operation, type, reliability, etc. If you are generating more energy than you are using, your excess energy can be sold back to Manitoba Hydro at the excess energy price (for generators less than 100 kW). Until March 31, 2022 the excess energy price is $0.02403/kWh. This price is updated annually so that it reflects the current market value of excess energy and is not equal to MH's electricity rates.
