Corner Brook energy & net metering

What Newfoundland Power charges here, and how surplus solar is credited in Newfoundland and Labrador.

UTILITY & RATE
Newfoundland Power
15.213¢/kWh (eff. Jul 1 2025; both recent increases were ~7%). A further 2.25% increase takes effect July 1, 2026 (~15.55¢); NL Hydro's rate-mitigation plan caps further increases at 2.25%/yr.
SOLAR POTENTIAL
Good – 950 kWh/kW annually (best in Newfoundland)
NET METERING
Newfoundland Power's net metering credits monthly excess solar at 1:1 at the retail rate (15.213¢/kWh). However, any surplus credits remaining at your annual anniversary are settled at the wholesale rate – significantly less than retail. Size your system to match your annual usage. Systems up to 100 kW are eligible.

Newfoundland Power’s residential rate is 15.213¢/kWh after two consecutive ~7% increases (August 2024 and July 2025). A further 2.25% increase takes effect July 1, 2026 (bringing the rate to approximately 15.55¢/kWh). NL Hydro’s rate–mitigation plan caps further increases at 2.25%/yr. Corner Brook’s higher production (best in NL) makes it the most attractive location for solar in the province.

How your system works behind the meter

Most of a Corner Brook 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 15.213¢/kWh. Only the surplus flows past the meter to Newfoundland Power for net-metering credit.
