Tarlac Electric Inc (TEI) is in full support of clean, renewable, and sustainable energy. Residential and business owners are encouraged to find alternative means of creating energy-whether it be solar, wind, biomass, or biogas-and giving it back to the community.
Net Metering Program
Through the Net Metering Program under Republic Act 9513, TEI customers can install a Renewable Energy (RE) facility within their property. The RE facility should not exceed 100 kW in capacity and must be safely connected to the TEI grid for the energy to be credited. Anything beyond 100 kW will not be covered by the program.
Good to know
Before You Invest
Before investing in an RE facility, find out your load profile so you can purchase the right one that meets your needs.
RA 9513
The legal basis for the Net Metering Program. TEI is mandated to support customers with approved RE installations.
RE facilities must not exceed 100 kW to qualify. Installations beyond this limit are not covered by the program.
Credits
Excess energy you export to the TEI grid is measured and credited back to you, reducing your monthly bill.
How It Works
Sign up for TEI's Net Metering Program so that a TEI representative can visit your residential or commercial property to install a bi-directional meter. This meter will be able to read both directions of energy flow.
TEI installs a special meter that reads both directions of energy flow — energy you consume from the grid and energy you export back to it.
For example, your solar panels will supply the energy you need when the sun is out. The excess energy you create will then be exported to the TEI power grid.
At night or whenever solar energy cannot be harvested, TEI will provide your electric energy. All the energy exported by your solar panels and provided by TEI will be measured accordingly.
Can I save money?
Can I save money through Net Metering?
You automatically save money because you use less energy from the TEI grid. Through the Net Metering Program, you will only be billed for your net energy use. The amount you save is equal to the excess energy you've exported to the TEI power grid multiplied by the generation rate. You will be compensated for the energy you provided through TEI bill credits.
Safety First
Enrolling in TEI's Net Metering Program will guarantee that the RE facility you've installed is stable and compliant with all safety measures and procedures. Plus, you can be certain that it is compatible with the TEI power grid, so that you can receive the highest value and savings from your RE investment.
Unregistered RE
If you do not inform TEI about your RE facility, you put yourself, your home or office, and others at risk:
Protected
Even if you do not plan on exporting energy to the TEI grid, you should still notify TEI about your RE facility by applying for the Net Metering Program. This will keep your connection 100% safe and will prevent electrical accidents from happening.
