PG&E bills for Net Energy Metering (NEM) transmission and delivery charges, annually, through its annual true-up process. The true-up process reconciles all the cumulative energy charges, credits and compensation during a twelve-month cycle, accounting for the energy your solar array produced and the energy your household consumed.Â
Pioneer performs monthly reconciliation related to generation. Any unused credits are rolled over to the next month. If net consumption took place during the month, that is, if you used more electricity in the month than your private solar array produced, you would receive a bill, just for the net consumption. Once a year, the March/April bill, Net Surplus Generators receive a bill credit or a payout (if over $25) and at that time the balance is reset to zero.
