Net metering & export

Net Metering Allowed: Yes

NEM Type: Monthly

TOU Utility: No

Post Solar Billing Method: Net Metering

Solar Export Type: Avoided Cost

Net Excess Generation Notes: If the electricity consumed by the Customer Generator during the billing period exceeds the electricity generated by the customer’s distributed generation facility during the billing period, then all electricity generated by the customer generation shall be deemed to have been used by the Customer Generator. If the electricity generated by the customer’s distributed generation facility during the billing period exceeds the electricity consumed by the Customer Generator, then such excess net energy shall be purchased by the Cooperative as provided under the Purchase Rate section of this Rider

Plans & docs

SLD Reqs: Include the project’s planned operating mode (e.g., combined heat and power, peak shaving, etc.).

Electric Service Reqs: The Customer Generator shall be capable of operating its generating equipment at a voltage level of plus/minus 6% of nominal system voltage. Utility grade negative sequence/under-voltage relaying shall be used to trip the equipment off the line for negative excursions exceeding 8.25% of nominal for a maximum duration of six electrical cycles. Positive excursions exceeding 10% of nominal voltage shall cause the equipment to trip off line. Voltage regulating equipment shall maintain stable excitation levels with negligible hunting (less than 2% of nominal phase current).

Install Reqs

Electrical Stamp Required: No

Equipment Approvals: California Energy Commission

Meter Num Req SLD 3LD: No

ESID Num Req SLD 3LD: No
