Net Metering Program
How Net Metering Works in Northwest Territories
Your solar system will connect to the grid in Yellowknife via the Net-Metering program for systems up to 15kW. Excess energy you produce is credited by your power company at the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months. These credits expire annually on March 31st, so it's important that your system is sized based on yearly usage. The extremely high electricity costs in Yellowknife combined with excellent solar potential make it one of the best places in Canada for solar.
