Net Metering lets you generate your own renewable energy—like solar power—and send any excess back to the grid. You’re billed only for what you use, and any surplus energy earns you credits. Through this program, Cotabato Light helps customers save on electricity while supporting a cleaner, sustainable future.
What is Net Metering?
A system where customers can produce their own renewable energy and connect it to Cotabato Light’s Distribution Grid. Consumers are billed only for their net energy consumption—the difference between what they import from and export to the grid.
