     (2) If the electricity supplied by the electric utility exceeds the electricity generated by the customer-generator and fed back to the electric utility during the billing period, the customer-generator shall be billed for the net electricity supplied by the electric utility, in accordance with normal metering practices.

     (3) If electricity generated by the customer-generator exceeds the electricity supplied by the electric utility, the customer-generator:
