‘UPPCL compensating user for excess solar power production’
Hindustan TimesUttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd on Sunday said it was providing the facility of net metering and net billing to solar power consumers to promote green energy in the state. Photographer: Vivek Prakash/Bloomberg “Net metering is available for domestic and agriculture consumers while net billing can be availed by any consumer using solar power,” UPPCL chairman M Devraj said. He added, “Interested consumers can apply on their own on the corporation’s website after registering themselves there.” Net metering and net billing are methods used to compensate a consumer for the excess solar energy the user sends to the utility’s grid. The key difference between the two compensation methods is energy metering compensates a consumer at the retail rate whereas net billing compensates at the wholesale rate, the former being more advantageous to a consumer.
