The state framework sets the default. Where Mississippi co-ops and municipals pays something different, the utility tariff governs and is what the card above reports.
| Compensation mechanism | Exported energy is credited monthly under utility tariffs using avoided energy cost plus the 2.5 cents/kWh Distributed Generation Value; qualifying low-to-moderate-income customers may receive an additional 2.0 cents/kWh adder. Entergy calculates excess credits as Channel 2 kWh times the Value of Distributed Generation, while Mississippi Power offers seasonal Option A or time-of-day Option B. |
|---|---|
| Export rate | There is no single statewide export rate. Entergy Mississippi's Attachment A lists 6.1 cents per kWh, or 8.1 cents per kWh for customers eligible for the Low-to-Moderate Income Benefits Adder, for bills rendered on and after the first billing cycle of February 2026. Mississippi Power's bulletin lists solar PV Option A RENM rates of 5.75 cents/kWh in July-October and 5.39 cents/kWh in November-June, before the low-income adder. |
| Rate effective | Entergy's 6.1 cents/kWh and 8.1 cents/kWh values apply to bills rendered on and after the first billing cycle of February 2026. Mississippi Power's RENM-3 schedule is effective May 27, 2025, and its RENM Basic Avoided Energy Cost Bulletin is dated June 4, 2025. |
| Credit rollover | Yes. Entergy carries additional excess-energy bill credit to the following billing cycle; Mississippi Power accumulates and nets credits against monthly charges. |
| Credit expiration | No routine monthly credit expiration is stated in the reviewed current tariffs. Entergy pays a check for the final account credit balance when service ends, and Mississippi Power disburses outstanding credits upon termination of service and closing of account. |
| Annual true-up | Credits are handled monthly rather than on a single annual true-up date: Mississippi Power renders statements monthly and Entergy carries credits by billing cycle, with final-account settlement when service terminates. |
| Aggregate program cap | The current Entergy Mississippi and Mississippi Power net-metering schedules each state a 3% participation cap based on utility system peak demand; the utility schedules do not state a statewide aggregate cap. |
| Program status | Current published Entergy Mississippi and Mississippi Power tariffs use first-come, first-served availability until net-metered capacity reaches 3% of the applicable utility system peak demand; after the cap, the tariffs direct additional customers to other purchase arrangements or utility discretion. |
| Grandfathering | The 2.5 cents/kWh Distributed Generation Value remains in place for twenty-five years from the date of installation under Mississippi Power's current RENM schedule; Entergy's current schedule likewise makes the qualifying low-to-moderate-income adder last 25 years from the date net-metering service begins. |
| Regulator | Mississippi Public Service Commission. |
| Governing rule | Mississippi Renewable Energy Net Metering Rule and Mississippi Distributed Generation Interconnection Rule, adopted by the Mississippi Public Service Commission in Docket No. 2011-AD-2; current tariffs also incorporate the Mississippi Distributed Generation Rule and related interconnection rules. |
| Pending change | The MPSC's November 4, 2025 utility docket lists Docket 2025-AD-61 as the proposal of the Mississippi Public Service Commission to amend the Mississippi Distributed Generation Rule; no final amended rule is asserted here. |
