Qualifications
Thank you for your interest in net-metering. You may qualify for net-metering if you are an Illinois retail customer who owns or operates an "eligible renewable electrical generating facility" on your premises with the primary intention to offset your own electrical requirements. Please refer to the FAQs below for a full list of eligible generating facilities.
To enroll an existing net-metered account, you must contact and notify Energy Harbor of your intent to participate by completing the application relevant to your Illinois electric utility below.
Please Note: Unused credits from your Illinois electric utility or previous supplier will not carry over to Energy Harbor and any used credits will be lost upon contract expiration with Energy Harbor regardless of settlement month. You should consider the value of these unused credits to you before entering into net-metering service with a retail electric supplier rather than your electric utility.

Upon receipt of the application, Energy Harbor must validate the eligibility of your net-metered account with your electric utility in order for your usage to be tracked and credited to you. Authorization by your electric utility may take up to 2-4 weeks. Energy Harbor will not begin to track your net-metered usage until the first available meter-read cycle after receiving confirmation from your electric utility. Please allow 1-2 meter read cycles for credits to appear on your bill.
Ohio: Energy Harbor does not offer net-metering on supply charges for residents and small businesses. Individuals with this special arrangement should remain with their utility to maintain the benefits of that service.
New Jersey: Similar to Illinois, it may not be advantageous for a net-metering participant to shop with a generation supplier. Residents may forfeit credits for electric supply service and delivery service, or both, if they switch to a generation supplier. If you are in a community energy aggregation with Energy Harbor, please contact us at 1-866-636-3749, Monday - Friday, 8 am to 5 pm EST to express your interest in net-metering. We will then arrange for a representative from the aggregation team to return your call to discuss options and possible next steps.
