Net metering is a system that allows residential and commercial customers who generate their own electricity from solar power or other renewable sources to feed electricity they do not use back into the grid. This process typically involves a special meter that can measure electricity flow in two directions: from the grid to the customer and vice versa. When a customer’s solar panels or other renewable system generates more electricity than they consume, the excess goes back into the grid, and their meter “spins backward,” earning them credits. These credits offset their electricity usage at other times when they consume more electricity than their system produces, like at night or during cloudy weather, reducing their overall utility bill. Net metering policies vary by region and utility company, and they play a critical role in making renewable energy systems more economically viable for consumers.
Energy companies are entities that specialize in the production, distribution, and sale of various forms of energy, including electricity, natural gas, oil, and renewable energy sources. These companies play a vital role in meeting the energy demands of consumers, businesses, and industries. They invest in exploration, extraction, and refining processes to obtain fossil fuels like oil and natural gas, which are crucial for powering transportation, heating, and electricity generation. These companies often operate extensive infrastructure, including power plants, pipelines, and transmission networks, to efficiently deliver energy resources to end-users.
Time-of-Use (TOU) rates are pricing structures that charge different rates depending on the time of day, encouraging consumers to use energy during off-peak hours when demand is lower. While TOU rates are not currently widespread in Alberta, they may be offered by some providers.
