Net Metering Program and REC ownership
Net metering is a service to an electric consumer under which electric energy generated by that consumer from an eligible on-site generating facility and delivered to the local distribution facility (WMS)  may be used to offset electric energy provided by the electric utility to the consumer during the applicable billing period. A Net Metering credit in the amount of $.05/kWh is given to the consumer based on total electric generation in return for the utility owning the Solar Renewable Energy Credits (REC) generated.

Net Metering helps promote renewable resource development by providing customers who generate some or all of their electricity using renewable resources credits and offsets.
WMS will check a customer's annual electric consumption and the solar system installed must be smaller than their annual load.  WMS will not buy back electricity from installed over capacity.
