 4 (b) (i) In the event that the amount of electricity produced by a
 5 customer-generator during the billing period exceeds the amount of elec-
 6 tricity used by the customer-generator, the corporation shall apply a
 7 credit to the next bill for service to the customer-generator for the
 8 net electricity provided at the same rate per kilowatt hour applicable
 9 to service provided to other customers in the same service class which

 22 liquidable, or transferable to any new owner of the property in which
 23 the generation equipment resides, with proof of deed transfer by the
