The power you’re generating is creating a positive impact

You’re offsetting the cost of the electricity you buy from PGE with energy you generate with solar, wind, hydro and other eligible renewable resources.

Welcome to your home for all things Net Metering! You’re part of a community generating your own power to help keep energy costs down and support a clean energy future for Oregon.

How Net Metering credits work

This type of meter measures how much electricity you use from PGE and how much of your excess electricity your system supplies to PGE.

Bidirectional meters do not record how much power your generating system produces so your bill may not exactly match what your solar provider reports.

For instructions on reading your meter and other information, see our guide to bidirectional meters or contact us at 503-464-8100 for help.

Unused credits in excess of your monthly usage will accumulate in your PGE account. Extra credits are shown on the third page of your bill as "excess generation".

Refer to the Net Metering rate schedule for complete details.

This happens in the billing cycle that ends in March. If you would benefit by having your annual billing cycle end in another month, email the Net Metering coordinator at netmetering@pgn.com to request a switch.
