Excess Generation Credit Transfer Request

This form is for requesting the transfer of excess generation credits from an on-site generation meter to a separate meter. If you do not meet the eligibility requirements, or do not wish to transfer credits, you do not need to fill out this form. Your credits will stay with your current meter as long as your service remains active at the net meter.

You can check your balance on your most recent bill in My Account.

Eligibility requirements:

In December 2023, the IPUC approved changes to the customer generation excess transfer rules. Eligibility for allowable transfers were modified as follows:

Net Billing transfer requirements:

Excess generation credits (financial amount) must be available.
Meters must be held by the customer and be for the customer’s use.

Net Energy Metering (Legacy) transfer requirements:

Excess generation credits (kWh) must be available.
Meters must be held by the customer and be for the customer’s use.
Meters must be on contiguous property and be served by the same primary feeder as the customer on-site generation meter.
Transfers can only occur from a Designated meter, defined as the retail meter physically connected to the Exporting System. 
For transfers from Residential and Small General Service accounts, the receiving meter must be on Schedule 1, 6, 7, or 8.
For transfers from Large General, Large Power, and Irrigation accounts, receiving meters must be on Schedules 9, 19, or 24.
If multiple meters are eligible for aggregation, excess net energy credits must first be applied to the designated meter, then to eligible meters outlined above.
