West Kelowna energy & net metering
What FortisBC charges here, and how surplus solar is credited in British Columbia.
FortisBC provides electricity in West Kelowna. FortisBC customers are NOT eligible for BC Hydro solar/battery rebates. FortisBC has its own net metering program with a 50kW cap. PST exemption on solar equipment still applies regardless of utility.
How your system works behind the meter
Most of a West Kelowna 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 FortisBC for net-metering credit.
