How to read your bi-directional meter

Monthly meter readings are used to bill you for the actual amount of electricity you use (instead of estimating). Outside of self-read areas, most meters are scheduled to be read every second month.

Extra energy generated by your system cannot be estimated. You must provide regular readings for accurate billing. Your bill will show an “energy received” line that lists the excess energy we bought from your system. You will not be eligible for the Equal Payment Plan because the energy used and the excess energy generated cannot be forecasted.
