Embrace the Future of Solar Energy: Net-Metering Regulations 2024 and their Benefits.

At PowerPoint Systems, we’re excited to unveil a major shift in Kenya's energy landscape! The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has introduced The Energy (Net-Metering) Regulations, 2024, transforming the way electricity consumers interact with the grid. This progressive move is poised to revolutionize the renewable energy sector in Kenya. Here’s how these new regulations can benefit you and why now is the perfect time to invest in solar energy.


WHAT ARE THE NET-METERING REGULATIONS 2024?

The Energy (Net-Metering) Regulations, 2024, developed by EPRA, enable consumers to generate their own electricity using renewable sources—such as solar panels—and supply any excess power back to the national grid. This not only helps you earn compensation but also allows you to use credited energy during times when your own generation is low.


KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NEW NET-METERING REGULATIONS

1. Eligibility and Capacity Limits:

   - Domestic Customers: For single-phase supply, the maximum installed capacity is 4 kW. For three-phase supply, it’s 10 kW.

   - Commercial and Industrial Customers: The capacity limit is set at 1 MW.

   - Capacity Cap: Your system's installed capacity cannot exceed the maximum load demand achieved in the past twelve months.


2. Fair Access:

   - Net-metering agreements will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring a non-discriminatory approach for all applicants.


WHY THE NET-METERING REGULATIONS MATTER

1. Significant Financial Savings:

   By generating your own electricity, you can slash your utility bills. Excess energy can be sold back to the grid or used as a credit, reducing your overall energy expenses.


2. Environmental Benefits:

   Investing in solar energy helps lower your carbon footprint. Solar power is a clean, renewable resource that contributes to a sustainable environment.


3. Enhanced Energy Independence:

   Producing your own energy reduces reliance on traditional power suppliers and provides greater stability against fluctuating energy prices.


4. EPRA’s Support for Renewable Energy:

   EPRA’s regulations are designed to simplify the integration of renewable technologies into everyday life, making it easier than ever to transition to clean energy solutions.
