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 $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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED by the Board of Directors that effective 30 days from the date
of passage of this ordinance, the District's Schedule D-NM, Domestic—Net Metering Tariff, shall
become effective and that Ordinance No. 9602 be rescinded.

District on the 19t' day of July 2000 by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Maass, Sutton, VanGundy and Hemig.
