Net Metering: Power Your Home with Savings and Sustainability
Net Metering allows customers to produce their own renewable energy—such as solar power—and export any unused electricity back to the grid. You are charged only for your net consumption, and any excess generation is converted into credits on your bill. Through this program, BOHECO I empowers consumers to reduce energy costs while contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable future
What is Net Metering?
Net Metering is a program that allows customers to generate their own renewable energy and connect it to BOHECO I’s Distribution Grid. Under this setup, consumers are billed based on the net amount in pesos, calculated as the difference between the cost of the electricity they consume from the grid and the value of the electricity they export back to it.
