If AEP Ohio is your utility

• AEP Ohio's net metering service credits your bill for energy your equipment generates; if you generate more than you use, the leftover credit applies to future months. You sign an interconnection agreement to activate the tariff. Customers with a competitive retail supplier should check how that supplier handles credits.

• AEP Ohio's Schedule NEMS converts monthly net excess energy into a monetary credit that carries forward continuously.
