Mount Pearl energy & net metering
What Newfoundland Power charges here, and how surplus solar is credited in Newfoundland and Labrador.
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. While NL has the lowest solar production in Canada, rising rates make solar viable for long–term savings.
How your system works behind the meter
Most of a Mount Pearl 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.
