 '''Net metering''' is a service to an electric consumer under which electric energy generated by that electric consumer from an eligible on-site generating facility and delivered to the local distribution facilities may be used to offset electric energy provided by the electric utility to the electric consumer during the applicable billing period.<ref>Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_metering and http://www.ferc.gov/industries/electric/indus-act/section-1241.pdf</ref>
