In efforts to move away from diesel generation, QEC has created multiple programs for customers who want to generate power from renewable sources for their own use. Any surplus is integrated into the corporation's grid and customers use it as credits.
Net Metering Program
QEC’s Net Metering Program allows residential customers and two municipal account per community to generate their own electricity from renewable energy sources and integrate any surplus into the corporation’s grids.
Commercial and Institutional Power Producer Program
QEC is developing a Commercial and Institutional Power Producers program specifically for existing commercial and institutional customers. The program will allow customers to generate renewable energy on their premises and sell all energy generated to QEC.
Independent Power Producer Program
QEC is developing the upcoming Independent Power Producer (IPP) program that will allow producers outside of the utility to generate large or community scale electrical power from renewable energy systems to sell directly to QEC.
