HRS §269-107
When you owe the utility for net electricity use
At the end of each month, if the electricity you used from the utility is more than the electricity you generated plus any credits you carried over from earlier months, you are a net electricity consumer. You must pay the utility for that extra usage at your normal retail rate.
The statute, as written — Net electricity consumers
At the end of each monthly billing period, where the electricity supplied during the period by the electric utility exceeds: (1) The electricity generated by the eligible customer-generator during that same period; and (2) Any unused credits for excess electricity from the eligible customer-generator carried over from prior months since the last twelve-month reconciliation period, the eligible customer-generator is a net electricity consumer and the electric utility shall be owed compensation for the eligible customer-generator's net kilowatt-hour consumption over that same period. The compensation owed for the eligible customer-generator's net monthly kilowatt-hour consumption shall be calculated at the retail rate of the rate class the customer is normally assigned to.
