AI summary NS Power explains the 30.9% decrease in net metering customers by citing factors such as cost, incentives, and financing. The 26% decrease in nameplate capacity is attributed to reduced solar installations, though average capacity increased. A cybersecurity incident in April 2025 caused a delay in payouts, which were later resolved with manual meter readings. Spikes in August and November 2025 were due to the availability of true meter readings after the incident.

hourly consumption and exported generation data.[1](#page-5-0) 1 Total estimated solar generation was matched to Appendix A of the Report, with behind-the-meter generation calculated as the difference between total generation and measured...

AI summary The document outlines a methodology for estimating the costs and benefits of net metering by analyzing hourly consumption and exported generation data. It uses irradiance-based weighting, marginal fuel prices, and tariff structures to calculate avoided fuel costs and incremental costs. The analysis considers energy credits and provides an indicative estimate for the 2026 NM Report.
