Net Metering - Alberta’s Micro-Generation Regulation allows homeowners and businesses to generate their own renewable electricity and benefit from net metering. With this program, any surplus electricity your solar system produces is sent back to the grid, earning you credits that can offset future electricity costs. It’s a simple and effective way to lower your bills while contributing to a greener future.
For example, during the sunny summer months, your solar panels might generate more power than you use. That extra energy is fed back to the grid, earning you credits. In the winter, when shorter days reduce solar production, those credits can be applied to your electricity bill, helping to reduce or eliminate the amount you owe. By balancing your production and consumption over the year, net metering ensures you get the most value out of your renewable energy system.
Alberta also offers unique programs like the Solar Club, designed for micro-generators with solar installations. Members of the Solar Club benefit from time-of-use electricity rates, allowing them to earn higher compensation for energy fed into the grid during peak sunlight months. This added incentive boosts the value of your solar investment, making renewable energy even more financially rewarding.
Alberta’s net metering program is open to renewable energy systems like solar, wind, and hydro, provided they are connected to the grid and sized to meet your property’s energy needs. It’s an excellent choice for Albertans looking to reduce costs, achieve energy independence, and support environmental sustainability.
