Does Energy for Palmdale’s Independent Choice offer a net energy metering program for qualified solar electric and other distributed generation systems?

Yes. Through Energy for Palmdale’s Independent Choice (EPIC’s) net energy metering program, called “EPIC Empowerment,” customers with net energy metering systems have the opportunity to receive credits for future energy service and even receive cash back when their systems produce excess energy. As part of EPIC Empowerment, your system’s energy production will be monitored on a monthly basis. If you use more energy than your system produces in a given month, you will be charged for the energy you draw from the grid. However, if you produce more energy than you consume, you will receive a credit on your bill that can be applied to charges in future months. If you have a credit of $100 or more during the October billing cycle of each year as determined by the EPIC Net Energy Metering Schedule, you will receive a check for that amount from EPIC. It’s that simple!
