Grain processing facility in Bismarck has on-site wind turbine that feeds excess power to Xcel grid. Getting credit but rate seems low compared to what they pay for purchased power. Anyone know how Xcel calculates net metering credits for industrial accounts?
Xcel Energy North Dakota wind generation credit
Utah has similar issues with Rocky Mountain Power. Industrial net metering credits are usually at avoided cost rates, which are much lower than retail rates. Check if North Dakota has different rules for large accounts.
Also verify they're getting credit for full output. Some utilities only credit net excess after facility consumption. If wind produces more than plant uses during low-demand periods, all excess should be credited.
