Net Metering in Wyoming
Wyoming requires investor-owned utilities to offer net metering on residential solar systems. The credit rate is the utility's avoided-cost rate (well below retail).
In practice, this means a properly sized Wyoming system can drive net annual electricity costs to within tens of dollars of zero. Top utilities operating under WY net metering rules include Rocky Mountain Power, Black Hills.
