Net metering
February of 2008 the Centre applied for Net Metering
The
Nolalu Eco Centre has a 2.7 Kw Renewable energy system. We applied for Net
Metering with Hydro One. The application process took 10 months. It should
not take so long but we were the pioneers in netmetering in North western Ontario.

Prep work is done here for installing the disconnect switch.

The disconnect switch and the new dual registry meter are in place.
We
can now feed our surplus energy back into the electricity grid. This is one
of the new digital meters in our case a dual registry meter which measures
the power used from the grid as well as the RE power returned into the grid.
On sunny days we are laughing and even more on windy nights.
