About
Nova Scotians can install a source of renewable energy such as a wind turbine or set of solar panels - or even a small hydro or biomass generator - to help power their home or business. If your generating unit (max size 1 MW) produces more energy than you use at any one time, the extra electricity will flow onto the local grid for others to use. On the other hand, if your generator isn't producing as much as you need, you can still draw from the grid to make up the difference. When you become a net metering customer, we'll install a bi-directional electricity meter to monitor and record the flow of electricity to and from your home or business. If at the end of billing period you've produced more energy than you've used, you'll receive a credit on your next bill. If at the end of a year you've still produced more electricity than you've used, we'll provide a cash payment for the surplus energy that has not already been applied to your power bill at a rate equal to the cost of energy from the grid.
