Utah Net Metering Laws & RMP Schedule 136 Net Billing

SBI Editorial DeskUpdated Q1 · 20262 sections

Utah has phased out traditional 1:1 net metering for new Rocky Mountain Power customers. To maximize your financial return, you must understand the state's new Net Billing structure (Schedule 136).

01

How Schedule 136 Net Billing Works

Under this program, the solar power you generate is first used to power your home, avoiding retail energy charges entirely. However, when you produce excess daytime power and send it to the grid, RMP does not credit you at a 1:1 ratio. Instead, they credit your account at a significantly reduced "export rate" (historically hovering around 5 cents per kWh). These export credits accumulate and can be used to offset your winter utility bills.

02

The Advisory Advantage: Self-Consumption

Because RMP pays you pennies on the dollar for exported power, the most profitable strategy in Utah is "self-consumption." SunBeam Innovations engineers hybrid systems (Solar + Battery). Instead of selling your excess power to RMP at a discount, you store it in your battery to power your home through the night, keeping your retail savings intact.
