Reply to comment by syphax in Green Mountain Power and new meter near solar ground array. by ElDub73

Can’t you sell or give your credits to another person? I’m on vt electric coop. For several years I was generating more than needed and I applied my excess credits to my parents account. They allow you to apply credits to any account also served by the coop, could be your camp, second home, neighbor, etc.

Kind of. Vermont law basically says that the PUC sets the rate that your power company will credit you for on a per kwh basis.

Depending on the company, you can often "give" extra credits away, but the days of direct transfer are over (at least with gmp). Gmp uses a group system whereby the sum of meters in the group generate x power, and divide that total over percentage-assigned recipients who must also be a group member.

Creating a group is easy, but only credits generated by the group are eligible for group distribution.

And ofc you can only group / share credits with people on the same utility
