English to Russian Science Energy / Power Generation

Доклад о возобновл. энергии в стране.

Policies such as net metering and wheeling regulations are used to encourage distributed renewable electricity generation around the world.
Net metering schemes often compensate the producer by crediting energy production which can later be used to offset consumption of electricity within the current (or future) billing cycle.

Сомневаюсь в переводе "to offset consumption of electricity"

Спасибо.
