NEM2 LOAD AGGREGATION APPENDIX
(If Applicable)
Customer-Generator Declaration Warranting NEM2 Aggregation Is Located on Same or Adjacent or Contiguous Property to Generator Parcel

In accordance with Schedule NEM2, I, Customer-Generator represent and warrant under penalty of perjury that:
1) The total annual output in kWh of the generat or is less than or equal to 100% of the annual aggregated electrical load in kWh of the meters within the arrangement, including the load on the generating account itself (before being offset by the generator), and including any estimated future additional load; and
2) Each of the aggregated account meters associated with this NEM2 generator account are located either:
(i) on the property where the renewable electrical generation facility is located, or (ii) are located within an unbroken chain of contiguous parcels that are all solely owned, leased or rented by the customer-generator. For purposes of Load Aggregation, parcels that are divided by a street, highway, or public thoroughfare are considered contiguous, provided they are within an unbroken chain of otherwise contiguous parcels
that are all solely owned leased or rented by the
customer-generator.

For example, assume there are five parcels (A,
B, C, D, E, and F) that form a cluster of
contiguous parcels and D and E are separated
from A, B, C and F by a street, highway, or public
thoroughfare. For the purposes of participating in
Load Aggregation, all five parcels are considered
contiguous, provided they are otherwise
contiguous and all are solely owned, leased or
rented by the customer-generator. Refer to the
diagram at left (for illustrative purposes only.)
3) PG&E reserves the right to request a parcel map
to confirm the property meets the requirements of 2) above; and 4) Customer-Generator agrees to notify PG&E if there is any change of status that makes any of the participating meters ineligible for meter aggregation to ensure that only eligible meters are participating; PG&E will require an updated Appendix and Declaration form; and

APPENDIX G
Operating Requirements for Energy Storage Device(s)
(when applicable)
The following Operating Requirement(s) apply to the charging functions of the Generating Facility:
 Producer’s storage device(s) will not consume power from Distribut ion Provider’s Distribution System at any time.
 Producer’s storage device(s) will not cause the Host Load to exceed its normal peak demand.

Normal peak demand is defined as the highest amount of power required from the Distribution System by Producer’s complete facilities without the influenc e or use of the energy storage device(s).
 To avoid upgrades or other technical mitigation items identified in the interconnection process, Producer has chosen the following Generating Facility operating constraint(s):

For the annual period between _____________ [Month/Day] and _____________ [Month/Day] And during the hours of ____________________________
The storage device(s) will consume no more than a total of ___ kW from the Distribution System.

This operating constraint voids the need for the following specific mitigation scope:

No other charging function limitation is required fo r this Generating Facilit y except the requirements above. Producer will be responsibl e for the costs of t he corresponding upgrades or other technical mitigations if at any time the Producer elects to forego or violates the operating requirement.

Consistent with current load service Rules, Distribution Provider is not required to reserve capacity for load. Producer is re sponsible to contact the utility for any modification to its equipment or change in operations that may result in increased load demand per Electric Rule 3.C.

If any operating requirement is specified above, Distribution Provider reserves the right to ask for data at the 15-minute interval level at any time to ve rify that the operating r equirement is being met.

Distribution Provider will make such request via a wr itten notice no more t han once per calendar quarter. Producer must provide such data wi thin 30 Calendar Days of the written request.

If the Generating Facility fails to adhere to the operating requirements at any time, it will be disconnected immediately in accordance with Rule 21 Section D.9 and not reconnected until an approved mitigation (e.g., supervising controls) is in place as determined by Distribution Provider.
