Under New Hampshire’s net-metering rules, all utilities are required to participate. Homeowners and system owners can net meter renewable energy systems up to 100 kW in size. The state requires that net excess generation is credited toward future bills, but it did not establish the rate at which excess generation is compensated. However, utilities can establish what payment incentives they will offer their customers for net excess generation.
As of November 2010, utilities can net meter customers until the total amount of net-metered systems is equal to 1 percent of the utility's annual peak energy demand. The utility is responsible for paying for a meter capable of measuring bi-directional energy flows, so it can measure energy produced and energy used.
