How Group Net Metering Works

Group Net Metering allows one solar plant to offset power consumption across multiple connections under the same ownership — ideal for campuses, institutions, or housing societies.

Step 1: Multiple Connections, One Owner

One user with multiple meters sets up a solar plant to reduce bills across all connections.

Step 2: Install a Solar Plant

A 5kW+ solar plant is installed at one site. The energy is exported directly to the grid.

Step 3: Smart Metering

DISCOM installs smart meters and automatically syncs readings across all linked connections each month.

Step 4: Bill Credits

Units generated are distributed across all meters — reducing electricity bills for each account.

Step 5: Surplus Earnings

If generation exceeds total consumption, DISCOM pays for the extra energy as per state policy.

Step 6: No Extra Charges

If all connections are on the same 11kV feeder/transformer, no open access charges apply.
