Micro-Generation Regulation | Government of Alberta:

Description

Micro-generators producing excess electricity receive credits for what they feed to the grid. They are either;

• Small micro-generators (under 150 kilowatts) who are credited for the electricity sent back to the grid on a monthly basis at their retail rates, but they may also install a suitable meter to receive credit for excess electricity based on hourly wholesale market prices; or
• Large micro-generators (sized 150 kilowatts and above) who are credited for the electricity sent back to the grid at the hourly wholesale market price.
