In 2024, it will remain possible to offset all returned electricity, which is advantageous for households with solar panels. Offsetting means that the electricity you generate but do not use yourself is fed back into the electricity grid. This returned electricity is then offset against the electricity you take from the grid. When you produce more electricity than you use, the surplus electricity is offset annually. This system offers financial benefits and promotes self-generation of sustainable energy, allowing households to contribute to a more sustainable energy supply while saving on their energy costs. Therefore, maintaining the ability to offset supports both environmental awareness and financial benefits for households with solar panels.

There are several reasons why offsetting can be beneficial:

1. Financial benefits: Because electricity prices are often higher than the compensation you receive for returned electricity, offsetting offers financial benefits. This allows you to save on your energy bill.

2. Self-sufficient: With solar panels, you can generate part of your own electricity, reducing reliance on the regular electricity grid. It contributes to a more sustainable and self-sufficient energy supply.

3. Environmental awareness: The use of solar energy reduces dependence on fossil fuels and contributes to lower greenhouse gas emissions, which is beneficial for the environment.
