If DTE Energy is your utility
- Under DTE's Rider 18 Distributed Generation Program, electricity from the grid is billed at your retail rate. Outflow sent to the grid is credited at the power-supply rate of your rate schedule (including Power Supply Cost Recovery). Credits apply to all charges except securitization, and excess credits carry forward in an Excess Generation Bank at the same premise.
