Nolzmeister Date: July 13, 2000 Amendment of Net metering ordinance At the last Board meeting we discussed amending the Districts net metering ordinance, which applies to residential customers that have installed photovoltaic generation facilities. A public hearing is scheduled for the July 19 meeting, after which the agenda lists adoption of the new ordinance as an action item. As you will recall, the new ordinance does nothing other than lower the monthly customer charge to $4.00; it is currently$25.00. Attached is a draft ordinance that accomplishes the goal. Recommendation I recommend that the Board adopt the ordinance repealing Ordinance 9602 and substituting in its place an ordinance adopting schedule D-NM, Domestic—Net Metering. 9 Page 1 UCKEE DONNER Public Utility District Ordinance No. 2000-01 Adopting Schedule D-NM, Domestic - Net Metering and Rescinding Ordinance No. 9602 APPLICABILITY Applicable to domestic service to residential customers eligible for service where a part or all of the electrical requirements of the customer can be supplied from a photovoltaic power production source owned and operated by the customer, where such source is connected for parallel operation with the service of the District and where such source is located on the customer's premises and is intended to offset part or all of the customer's electrical requirements. This schedule provides rates, terms and conditions for the sale of energy by the District. Prices, terms and conditions for the purchase of net energy transmitted by the customer to the District are included herein for reference only. Such prices, terms and conditions and the terms of inter-connection and parallel operation are outlined in the generation agreement required for service under this tariff. The purpose of this tariff is to facilitate terms of service to customers with photovoltaic power production systems of not more than ten kilowatts. Applicability of this tariff does not extend to customers whose photovoltaic power production source exceeds ten kilowatts. TERRITORY The entire area served by the Truckee Donner Public Utility District electric system. RATES —�� Service charge Per meter per month$26.00$4.00 Energy charge On the domestic rate applicable to that residence Net energy credit All kilowatt-hours, per kilowatt-hour—the net energy credit will be computed at a rate for payment equal to the monthly average non- firm energy price the District pays during the applicable billing month. SPECIAL CONDITIONS (a) Generation agreement: A generation agreement with the customer is required for service under the schedule. (b) Net energy: Net energy is ES minus EF where ES is energy supplied by the District and EF is energy generated by the customer and fed back into the District's system at such times as customer generation exceeds customer requirements. Only if net energy is positive shall net energy charges be applied at the rates specified above except that the minimum charge will be applied in any case. If the calculation of net energy yields a negative result, all such negative net energy shall be considered net energy transmitted and shall be treated as stated in special condition (c) below. The components of net energy, ES and EF shall be determined by the use of a single, non-demand, non-time-differentiated meter to be provided by the District. If a new meter is required, then the normal meter installation fee will be charged. (c) Net energy transmitted: Net energy transmitted occurs when the cumulative value of EF exceeds the cumulative value of ES during an entire billing period and is the amount by which the energy generated by the customer and fed back into the district's system exceeds the energy supplied by the District over an entire billing period. Such net energy transmitted will be purchased by the District at its monthly average non-firm energy price the District pays during the applicable billing month. (d) Billing and billing periods: The billing period to be used under this tariff shall be the customary monthly billing period. In any monthly billing period where ES exceeds EF, the District will bill the customer for the net energy consumed per the terms of the tariff. In monthly billing periods where EF exceeds ES, the District will pay the customer for the excess kilowatt hours generated at the rate established by the procedures in Section (c) above.
