												NET METERING (SOLAR)					
					<p>Net Metering is available to residential, commercial, and industrial customers owning and operating renewable generating facilities for the purpose of offsetting all or part of the customer’s electric needs.</p><p>TMLP currently has two net metering categories – customers with generating systems of 60kW or less, and customers with generating systems between 60kW and 2,000kW. In order to qualify for net metering, the size of the total system may not exceed the customer’s highest peak demand for the preceding 12 months. The availability of net metering to customers is subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Net Metering Agreement and/or Tariff. TMLP may limit the cumulative generating capacity of all such facilities in its service territory and the availability of this service.</p><p>Individuals interested in building renewable generating facilities within the TMLP service territory that do not fit this description should contact TMLP to discuss the possibility of a Purchase Power Agreement. Please contact <a href="mailto:jamesirving@tmlp.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>TMLP’s Senior Resource Analyst</u></a> at <b>508-824-3129</b>.</p><p>Customers who intend to install a battery backup system alongside a solar installation should fill out the Battery Backup Verification form as well.<br />Application Forms and Additional Information:</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.tmlp.com/pdf/NM_SR_FAQ.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Net Metering &amp; Solar Rebate FAQ</u></a></li><li><a href="http://www.tmlp.com/pdf/NMA.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Net Metering Application</u></a></li><li><a href="http://www.tmlp.com/pdf/NM-IA.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Net Metering Interconnection Agreement</u></a></li><li><a href="http://www.tmlp.com/pdf/NMIS.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Net Metering Interconnection Standards</u></a></li><li><a href="http://www.tmlp.com/pdf/NMT-60PLUS.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Net Metering Tariff For 60kW &#8211; 2000kW</u></a></li><li><a href="http://www.tmlp.com/pdf/Battery_Backup_Verification.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Battery Backup Verification Form</u></a></li></ul>
												COMMERCIAL ENERGY ASSESSMENT					
					<p>Maintaining energy efficiency is of paramount importance for commercial and industrial facilities in this world of tight budget constraints and skyrocketing costs. TMLP&#8217;s desire is to make businesses as profitable as possible by offering its commercial, industrial, municipal, and institutional customers an opportunity to identify and evaluate energy savings opportunities.</p><p>In partnership with <a href="https://www.ene.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Energy New England (ENE)</u></a>, a leader in energy resource evaluations, TMLP is offering an initial &#8220;walk through&#8221; audit to identify energy savings opportunities, free of charge. If the customer requests a more comprehensive &#8220;investment grade&#8221; engineering audit, then TMLP may reimburse the customer for 50% or more of the audit cost, provided certain recommended measures have been implemented.<br />The industrial energy conservation evaluations shall be performed on-site and shall identify major energy uses, such as lighting, HVAC, and other electrical systems. A summary report outlining the potential energy (kWh) savings, economic savings, and payback on investment will be presented to the customer.</p><p>To schedule an Energy Audit, call ENE at <b>1-888-772-4242</b>.
