Direct generation
For systems ranging from 10 kilowatts (kW) to 1,000 kW, you have the option to connect
your system directly to the EWEB grid and sell all of the electricity generated
to EWEB.
We will install a dedicated meter and contract with you to purchase all
of the electricity generated. If you have electric usage at your site, all of it
will be supplied by EWEB through your existing meter.
Summer (April through September billing cycles)
First 45,000 kWh per month..........................$0.11 per kilowatt hour (kWh)
Over 45,000 kWh per month........................$0.071 per kWh
Winter (October through March billing cycles)
First 30,000 kWh per month..........................$0.11 per kWh
Over 30,000 kWh per month........................$0.071 per kWh
* These rates have been extended through March 31, 2012. New rate information will be available soon.
All terms subject to annual review.
The most important requirement is to contact EWEB early in the process before
starting construction of your system. Additional steps before installation include:
- Obtain a building permit for the system, which must be installed
within EWEB's service territory.
- Submit the appropriate program application and receive approval.
- Complete an EWEB Interconnection Agreement and Program Agreement.
Upon completion of the project, all systems must be inspected first by City or
County building officials and then by EWEB.
