This policy will provide benefits for islands that are already equipped with PLN power grids. This paper uses Solar  Power  Plants  and  household  costumers  as  models  to calculate  potential  on-grid  power  increase  which  can  be contributed by PLN costumers. A two-way power meter is used to replace the currently used one. This model will be applied to the  conventional grid to demonstrate the compatibility that show how it is applicable even without upgrading the conventional grid to become   smart grid system. The result shows that customers can participate significantly through the flow of their excess energy to grid
