Appalachian Power and Wheeling Power filed successor net-metering tariff sheets in Case No. 24-0854-E-42T setting per-kWh Metered Output credit rates, but the published tariff PDF is no longer retrievable, so no current Appalachian Power export rate is reported here. Grandfathered customers keep full-retail carry-forward credits.

The state framework sets the default. Where Appalachian Power (WV) pays something different, the utility tariff governs and is what the card above reports.
| Compensation mechanism | West Virginia uses utility net-metering tariffs. Grandfathered Appalachian Power/Wheeling Power customers receive full-retail carry-forward credits; non-grandfathered customers have Metered Input and Metered Output separately measured, with output credited at tariffed avoided-cost-component rates. Mon Power likewise separately measures Metered Input and Metered Output for customers not served under its Grandfathering Provision. |
|---|---|
| Export rate | Mon Power lists $0.09343 per kWh for Schedules A, B, C, CSH and Lighting, $0.09146 for Schedule D, and $0.08910 for Schedules K and AGS. |
| Rate effective | Mon Power’s listed Metered Output credit rates remain in effect through December 31, 2026. |
| Credit rollover | Yes for grandfathered customers: Appalachian Power/Wheeling Power says excess kWh are carried forward and credited in subsequent billing periods at the full retail rate; Mon Power says excess kWh are carried forward and credited in subsequent billing periods at the full retail rate. The reviewed new-customer provisions separately measure Metered Output rather than describing a full-retail rollover. |
| Aggregate program cap | The statewide statute permits an electric utility to offer net metering so long as total customer-generator capacity is no greater than three percent (3%) of the utility's aggregate customer peak demand in the state during the previous year, with no less than one-half percent (0.5%) reserved for residential customer-generators. |
| Program status | The Appalachian Power/Wheeling Power tariff repeats a three percent (3%) Company single-hour peak-load limit, with one-half percent (0.5%) reserved for residential Customer-generators. Mon Power's tariff repeats the same three percent (3%) limit and one-half percent (0.5%) residential reservation. |
| Regulator | Public Service Commission of West Virginia. |
| Governing rule | West Virginia Code §24-2F-8 and Title 150, Series 33, Rules Governing Electric Utility Net Metering Arrangements and Interconnections. |
| Pending change | Future changes to Mon Power’s credit rates for Metered Output are subject to Commission approval. |
