| The net metering program enables Michigan's utility, cooperative and AES customers to
develop on-site renewable energy electric generation projects to meet some or all of their
electric energy needs and reduce their electric bills. Under the net metering program,
customers may install an on-site renewable energy electric generation project, such as a
wind turbine or solar photovoltaic panel. The project must be sized small enough so that
it is no larger than what is needed to meet a customer's electric energy needs. The customer
will be able to reduce their electricity purchases from the utility by using their generated
electricity "behind the meter." As of December, 2011, Michigan had over 1,000 customers
participating in net metering.
