a. Where Customer-owned electrical Generating Facilities are used to meet a part or all of the Customer’s electrical requirements, service shall be provided concurrently under the terms and conditions of Schedule S and this Schedule. Parallel operation of such Generating Facilities with SCE’s electrical system is permitted. A generation interconnection agreement is required for such operation.
b. Customer-owned electrical Generating Facilities used solely for auxiliary, emergency, or standby purposes (auxiliary/emergency generating facilities) to serve the Customer’s load during a period when SCE’s service is unavailable and when such load is isolated from the service of SCE are not subject to Schedule S.
However, upon approval of SCE, momentary parallel operation may be permitted to allow the Customer to test the auxiliary/emergency generating facilities. A Momentary Parallel Generation Agreement is required for this type of service.
c. For Customers of record on Schedule GS-1-PG as of April 30, 1996, who were subsequently transferred by SCE to an applicable Commercial rate schedule, who have a valid Qualifying Facilities (QF) contract with SCE, and who are not eligible for service under Schedule NEM, Net Energy Metering, or its successor, Schedule NEM-ST, the Energy Charges for such parallel generation Customers shall be determined using kWh of Net Energy as defined and set forth below:
(1) Net Energy: Net Energy is ES minus EF, where ES is energy supplied by SCE, and EF is energy generated by the Customer and fed back into SCE'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 Customer 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 Section (2), below. The components of Net Energy, ES and EF, shall be separately recorded unless SCE and Customer agree that energy fed back, EF, is negligible or zero, and so specify by waiver in the generation interconnection agreement.
(2) 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 SCE’s system exceeds the energy supplied by SCE over an entire billing period. Such Net Energy transmitted will be purchased by SCE at a rate for payment equal to SCE’s applicable standard offer energy payment rate filed with the Commission. A new rate for payment shall be effective for Net Energy transmitted on and after the effective date of each such filing.
SCHEDULE C – LARGE GENERAL SERVICE

4. Maximum Demand: The maximum demand in any month shall be the measured maximum average kilowatt input, indicated or recorded by instruments to be supplied by the City, during any 15-minute metered interval in the month.
5. Voltage Discount: The monthly Facilities Related Demand Charge will be reduced by $0.21 per kW for service delivered and metered at voltages of 4 kV through 12 kV. The energy charge will be reduced by $.00101 per kWh for service delivered and metered at voltages of 2 kV through 12 kV.
6. Excess Transformer Capacity: Excess Transformer Capacity is the amount of transformer capacity requested by a customer in excess of that which the City would normally install to serve the customer’s Maximum Demand. Excess Transformer Capacity shall be billed at the amount shown in the rates section above.
7. Power Factor Adjustment: When Maximum Demand has exceeded 200 kW for three consecutive months, kilovar metering will be installed as soon as practical, and thereafter, until the Maximum Demand has been less than 150 kW for twelve consecutive months, the billing will be adjusted each month for power factor. 7a. Adjustment Rate:
i. For service delivered and metered at voltages 12 kV or less, the billing will be increased by $0.60 per kilovar of maximum reactive demand.
7b. Determining the Reactive Demand:
i. Service delivered and metered at voltages of 4 kV or greater:
1. The maximum reactive demand shall be the highest
measured maximum average kilovar demand indicated or
recorded by metering during any 15-minute metered interval in the month. The kilovars shall be determined to the
nearest unit. A device will be installed on each kilovar meter to prevent reverse operation of the meter.
ii. Services delivered and metered at voltages less than 4 kV:
1. For customers with metering used for billing that measures reactive demand, the maximum reactive demand shall be
the highest measured maximum average kilovar demand
indicated or recorded by metering during any 15-minute
metered interval in the month. The kilovars shall be
determined to the nearest unit. A device will be installed on each kilovar meter to prevent reverse operation of the meter.
2. For customers with metering used for billing that measures kilovar-hours instead of reactive demand, the kilovars of reactive demand shall be calculated by multiplying the
kilowatts of measured maximum demand by the ratio of the kilovar-hours to the kilowatt-hours. Demands in kilowatts and kilovars shall be determined to the nearest unit. A ratchet device will be installed on the kilovar-hour meter to prevent its reverse operation on leading power factors.

SCHEDULEVNEM–VIRTUALNETENERGYMETERING
Applicability
This Schedule is applicable to Qualified Customers served on time-of-use (TOU) rates whose Service Account(s) are located within a multi-tenant and multi-meter Property upon which an Eligible Facility has been installed pursuant to the additional terms and conditions contained herein and any other applicable law; and for which the Owner or Operator of the Property contracts with MVU to have all eligible energy produced by the Eligible Generator or Energy Storage Device exported to MVU’s system for the sole purpose of offsetting the costs to designated Benefitting Accounts within the same Property as the Eligible Generator or Energy Storage Device.
Territory
Within the designated areas served by Moreno Valley Utility.
Rates
All terms and conditions of the Qualified Customer’s TOU Tariff apply. Allocated TOU Credits, as further defined in Special Conditions, Section 4 below, are determined by multiplying the kilowatt-hours (kWh) that the Eligible Generator(s) or Energy Storage Device(s) deliver within each TOU block by the percentages calculated by the portion of NEC load required by each meter vs the unadjusted NEC load of the entire site.
1. Mandatory TOU Rates.
a. Qualified Customers must receive service on a TOU rate schedule, with no exceptions.
b. The default TOU rate for Residential Qualified Customers is Schedule A – Rate B.
c. The default TOU rate for General Service Qualified Customers is Schedule B – Rate B.
2. Non-by-passable Charges (NBCs)
For the purpose of this Schedule, NBCs apply to the Public Purpose Programs charges. As determined in each billing period, a Qualified Customer is responsible for NBCs, assessed on a $-per-kWh basis using the NBC factors contained in the Qualified Customer’s applicable Tariff, for each kWh of electricity that is consumed / imported from the grid in each metered interval. Allocated Credits cannot be used to offset or net the kWh on which a Qualified Customer’s NBCs are based.
3. Monthly Energy (kWh) Charges and Credits.
As determined in each billing period and within each TOU block, when a Qualified Customer is a net consumer of energy for the TOU block, Es is greater than Ec, where Es is energy supplied from the grid and Ec is the Allocated Credit, the resulting net consumed energy within the TOU block will be used in the calculation of all applicable energy charges, with the exception of the NBCs as outlined above, calculated by (1) multiplying the Qualified Customer’s net consumed kWh by the applicable energy rate components of applicable Tariff, in each TOU period.
As determined in each billing period and within each TOU block, when a Qualified Customer is a net producer of energy for the TOU block, Ec is greater than Es, the resulting net produced energy will be used in the calculation of TOU based energy credits in accordance with the Net Compensation Rate Tariff.
See below for a table representing a Qualifying customers Energy Charges or Credits
If Es is greater than Ec in a TOU block:
On Peak* Off Peak* Super Off-Peak*

The cost of the NGOM(s) is a one-time, upfront charge that includes material, labor, maintenance and replacement, and may vary from project to project depending on the type of NGOM required to interconnect a particular project. No additional load other than incremental load related to the inverters and support of the Eligible Generator(s) may be registered at the meter. MVU must approve the location of the NGOM equipment, which should be normally grouped with the service and metering for one or more Benefitting Accounts.
b. Each Benefitting Account must have a standard MVU TOU billing meter that is capable of Interval Metering
4. Billing Process
a. Gross Credit – The total metered kWh output of all Eligible Facilities, delivered to MVU’s grid, as metered at the point of common coupling, described in Condition 3.a above, during the billing period and TOU block of the Generating Account.
b. Gross Debit - The total metered kWh consumption of all Eligible Generators, delivered to MVU’s grid, as metered at the point of common coupling, described in Condition 3.a above, during the billing period and TOU block of the Generating Account and the fixed costs associated with the Generating Account.
c. Allocated Credit –
i. The percentage of Gross Credit that will be allocated to the
individual Benefitting Account(s) is determined by calculating the percentage of NEC load for each Benefitting Account vs the sum of all NEC loads of all Benefitting Accounts included in the electrical plans submitted for building and safety review prior to site construction. This percentage can be updated by specific request by the Owner or Operator when the site undergoes construction permitted by the City which impacts the NEC loads.
ii. The individual allocation of the kWh to each Benefitting Account is calculated by multiplying the Gross Credit by the designated percentage allocation for each individual Benefitting Account during each applicable TOU block.
d. Allocated Debit -
i. The percentage of Gross Debit that will be allocated to the individual Benefitting Account(s) is determined by calculating the percentage of NEC load for each Benefitting Account vs the sum of all NEC loads of all Benefitting Accounts included in the electrical plans submitted for building and safety review prior to site construction. This percentage is updated when the percentage affecting Allocation Credit is updated.
ii. The individual allocation of the kWh and fixed costs to each Benefitting Account is calculated by multiplying the Gross Debit by the designated percentage allocation for each individual Benefitting Account during each applicable TOU block.
e. Qualified Customer’s Bill – MVU will provide each Qualified Customer with its net energy information with each regular bill. That information will include the monetary balance of energy charges and credits for the current Relevant Period. Qualified Customers are responsible for all charges of their TOU tariff. Each month, Allocated Credits, in kWh are subtracted from the Benefitting Account’s metered usage in kWh during each TOU block. Allocated Debits, in kWh are added to the Benefitting Account’s metered usage in kWh during each TOU block. Allocated Debits for fixed charges of the associated Generating Account are added to the fixed charges of the Benefiting Accounts. The bill may therefore reflect either a charge or a credit for energy (kWh).
f. Bill Payment – Qualified Customers are required to pay their bill on a monthly basis. Bill payments made by the Qualified Customer within the Relevant Period will continue to be applied to the Qualified Customer’s account. Excess energy credits are converted to dollars in accordance with the Net Compensation Tariff and carried forward to the following billing period. For Benefitting Accounts with a net negative bill, MVU will issue checks annually in November for the net negative balance.
5. Interruption or Reduction of Deliveries
a. MVU shall not be obligated to accept, and MVU may require Qualified Customer to interrupt or reduce, deliveries of energy to MVU: (a) when necessary in order to construct, install, maintain, repair, replace, remove, investigate, or inspect any of MVU’s equipment or part of the MVU system; or (b) if MVU determines that curtailment, interruption, or reduction of receipt of energy from the Eligible Facility is necessary because of emergencies, forced outages, force majeure, or compliance with prudent electrical practices.
b. Notwithstanding any other provision, if at any time MVU, in its sole discretion, determines that either (a) the Eligible Facility may endanger MVU personnel or members of the general public, or (b) the continued operation of the Eligible Facility may impair the integrity of MVU’s electric distribution system, MVU shall have the right to disconnect the Eligible Facility from MVU’s electric distribution system. Qualified Customer’s Eligible Facility shall remain disconnected until such time as MVU is satisfied that the condition(s) referenced in (a) or (b) of this paragraph have been corrected, and MVU shall not be obligated to compensate Qualified Customer for any loss of use of generation or energy during any and all periods of such disconnection.
6. Indemnity and Liability by Qualified Customer
a. Qualified Customer shall indemnify and hold MVU, its directors, officers, agents and employees harmless against all loss, damages expense and liability to third persons for injury to or death of persons or injury to property caused by the Qualified Customer’s engineering design, construction, installation, ownership, maintenance or operations of the Eligible Facility by reason of omission or negligence, whether active or passive. Qualified Customer shall, on MVU’s request, defend any suit asserting a claim covered by this indemnity. Qualified Customer shall pay all costs that may be incurred by MVU in enforcing this indemnity.
