Information about the net metering scheme

Do I have to pay for electricity fed back into the grid if the net metering scheme is abolished?

The government is working on new rules for feeding electricity back into the grid. We would like to explain what this means and why solar panels are still a good idea.

Why solar panels are still cost-effective.
If your home is suitable, we install solar panels for free. This means you don't have to invest, and you benefit immediately from a lower energy bill.

Change of rules
The rules for feeding electricity back into the grid will change in the coming years. Under the new regulations, you may have to pay for feeding electricity back, even if you feed back less than you use yourself. How much you have to pay depends on your energy supplier and contract.

Everything remains the same until 2027.
The current net metering scheme remains unchanged until the end of 2026. Until then, nothing changes for you. The national government decides exactly what happens from 2027 onwards. Your energy supplier also determines which conditions apply at that time.

Prefer not to feed electricity back into the grid?
Are you still uneasy about potential costs? Then you can switch off the solar panels yourself in your meter box.
