What is the policy mechanism allowing distributed energy producers (e.g., rooftop solar) to sell excess power to the utility grid?
💡 Explanation:Net Metering is a billing mechanism that credits consumers who generate their own electricity for the power they add back to the utility grid. For example, a homeowner with solar panels can send excess power to the grid when generation exceeds consumption, and their utility bill is credited for this exported energy. Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) are distinct, typically offering a fixed premium price per kilowatt-hour for the energy exported to the grid.
