Connecting to the Grid: Net Metering

For our customers who have installed a renewable energy system (up to 2 MW) on their homes or businesses, Gulf Power offers Net Metering which allows customers to connect their systems to the grid and allows us to meter and provide credit to the customer for any excess electricity their system generates.

Links to the application and agreements, as well as helpful information, are below.

How do I apply for interconnection and net metering?
