Editing Backfeeding (section)

=== Intentional backfeeding ===
Development and economization of consumer power generation equipment such as [[wind turbine]]s and [[photovoltaic systems]] has led to an increase in the number of consumers that may produce more electrical power than they consume during peak generating conditions. If supported by the consumer's [[electric utility]] provider, the excess power generated may be fed back into the electrical grid. This process makes the typical consumer a temporary producer while the flow of electrical power remains reversed. When backfeeding is performed this way, electric utility providers will install a specially engineered [[electrical meter]] that is capable of [[net metering]].
