Shift to Net Billing Fuels Rush for Net Metering

Ahead of the transition to the net billing system for photovoltaics, there is a rush from owners to install solar panels under the older, more beneficial net metering system before January 1, 2026. The new system, net billing, is expected to be less advantageous for owners, as surplus energy will be sold at a lower price and repurchased at a higher price. Despite the fact that RAEK has already defined the framework for net billing, EAC appears to be not fully prepared, while private energy suppliers have not yet announced the prices they will offer. This creates uncertainty and may lead to consumers remaining with EAC.
