APPLICABILITY:
This Net Energy Metering rate schedule is applicable to all customers served by Silicon Valley Power (SVP), who own and operate a solar or a wind turbine electrical ge nerating facility, or a hybrid system of both. Such facility shall be located on the customer's premises , shall operate in parallel with SVP's transmission and distribution facilities, shall not exceed 1000 kilowatts, and shall only be used primarily to offset part or all of the customer's own electrical requirements. Availability of this schedule to such "customer-generators" will be on a first-come first-served basis, until the total rated generating capacity operated by eligible customer-generators equals 5.0 percent of SVP's annual peak distribution demand.
RATES:
All rates charged under this schedule shall be the same as the rates charged under the eligible customer generator's otherwise applicable rate schedule (OAS). An eligible customer-generator served under this schedule shall be responsible for all charges under the otherwise applicable rate schedule, except that energy usage will be metered and billed on a net basis. An annual bill will be rendered, as required by Section 2827 of the California Public Utilities Code. A monthly statement of accumulated charges and credits shall be provided.
Monthly statements shall be subject to SVP’s payment pr ovisions pursuant to Municipal Service Rule and Regulation No. 6, except that customers whose OAS is a demand metered SVP Rate Schedule shall be subject to monthly payment of bills, and be subject to annual true-up as necessary. If the energy generated exceeds the energy consumed during the annual billing cycle, at the customer-generator’s option, payment shall be made for such excess energy delivered to SVP's distribution facilities as set forth below, or applied as a credit to the next annual billing cycle.
LOAD AGGREGATION OPTION:
An eligible customer-generator with multiple meters may elect to aggregate the electrical load of the meters located on the property where the renewable electrical generation facility is located and on all properties adjacent or contiguous to the property on which the renewable electrical generation facility is located, if those properties are solely owned, leased, or rented by the eligible customer-generator.
If an eligible customer-generator chooses to aggregate the electrical load of such meters, (i) the eligible customer-generator shall be
permanently ineligible to re ceive net surplus electricity compensation, and SVP shall retain any kilowatt-hours in excess of the eligible customer-generator’s aggregated electrical load generated during the 12-month period; (ii) the electricity generated by the renewable electrical generation facility shall be allocated to each of the meters in proportion to the electrical load served by those meters for each billing period. This proportionate allocation shall be calculated based on customer-generator’s load data averaged over an indicative 12-month period (estimated if necessary) and should be effective for a minimum of 12 months.
METERING:
Net energy metering is the use of a single meter to measure the flow of electricity in two directions. If the existing electrical meter of an eligible customer-generator is not capable of measuring the flow of electricity in two directions the customer-generator shall be responsible for all expenses involved in purchasing and installing a meter that is able to measure electricity flow in two directions. Any additional meter or meters to monitor the flow of electricity in each direction may be installed with the consent of the customer-generator, at SVP expense.

Date Effective: January 1, 2025 Resolution No. 24-9400
Supersedes Rate Effective: January 1, 2024 Resolution No. 23-9291 negligent operation of the customer’s facilities. Customers may be required to meet requirements imposed by other governing entities having jurisdic tion over SVP’s transmission lines including the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) and the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC). Customer generation under this rate schedule shall be metered by SVP. Customer shall provide a meter location that accommodates SVP’s meter and such meter shall be fully accessible by SVP. (D) RESE RVATION CAPACITY:
The Reservation Capacity to be used for billing under the above rates shall be determined as set forth below:
The Reservation Capacity shall be
as initially determined by SVP, except that during the first 12-month period following the date of initial determination, SVP may review the specified Reservation Capacity on a monthly basis and make adjustments as warranted (consistent with the criteria specified below).
Thereafter, SVP may p
erform an annual review of the most recent 12 months of actual customer operation a
nd make prospective adjustments to the Reservation Capacity as warr anted and consistent with customer’s historic operations.
Any such adjusted Reservation Capacity shall be effect ive for a minimu
m of 12 months unless a documented mate rial change of operation is provided to SVP by the customer. The customer may provide SVP with documentation of such material changes in operations as might call for an adjusted Reservation Capacity at any time. Upon receipt and review of such
documentation, SVP shall revise the Reservation Capacit y at its sole discretion and such a revision will be effecti
ve for the billing period immediately following receipt, acceptance and approval of the documentation and any additional information required by SVP to ma ke such a determination. For purposes of
subsequent annual reviews and any resulting a djustment to the Reservation Capacity, the following
criteria shall apply:
a. For those customers who operate sufficient non-utility ge nerating capacity so as to ordinarily satisfy all of the ele
ctric energy requirements at their site and so do not ordinarily require any service through facilit
ies owned by SVP, the Reservation Capacity shall not exceed the customer’s highest peak demand established dur
ing the most recent 12 months of actual customer operation; b. For customers with electric loads that exceed the output capability of their non-utility generation, and thus require the regular provision of supplemental power service through facilities ow ned by SVP, the
Reservation
Capacity determination shall consider the number and size of the customer’s n on-utility generating
unit(s), the outage diversity of the non-utility generating units serving the customer’s load, and any reduction of customer load commensurate with non-utility generator capacity outages.
