Net-Metering
Overview
Net-Metering is a program under the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 (RA 9513) and is carried out by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).
It allows customers with Renewable Energy (RE) generating systems of 100 kWp or less to export the electricity that they were not able to consume to the Distribution Utility (DU), such as Meralco, and its corresponding value will be given credits to the customer’s monthly bill and generate savings in the process.
Any RE installation above 100kWp is no longer covered by the Net-Metering program. As such, the RE installation will fall under the Zero Export (ZE) or Distributed Energy Resources (DER).
