Penticton energy & net metering
What City of Penticton Electric charges here, and how surplus solar is credited in British Columbia.
The City of Penticton operates its own municipal electric utility, separate from BC Hydro. City of Penticton Electric customers are NOT BC Hydro customers and are NOT eligible for BC Hydro solar or battery rebates. Check with the city for current net metering terms and solar program eligibility. The PST exemption on solar equipment applies regardless of utility.
How your system works behind the meter
Most of a Penticton system's value comes from power used behind the meter — electricity your panels make and your home uses on the spot, offsetting energy you'd otherwise buy at 14¢/kWh. Only the surplus flows past the meter to City of Penticton Electric for net-metering credit.
