Rhode Island Net Metering Laws vs. The REG Program Explained

SBI Editorial DeskUpdated Q1 · 20262 sections

Rhode Island homeowners have two distinct options for monetizing their solar power: traditional Net Metering and the Renewable Energy Growth (REG) program. Understanding the difference is vital to maximizing your savings.

01

Traditional Net Metering

If you opt for net metering, any excess power your system generates is sent back to the grid, and Rhode Island Energy credits your bill. You can bank these credits to use during the winter months. This effectively zeroes out your electricity bill.
