City of Vernon
Honorable Members:
The Director of Utilities has reviewed Assembly Bill 1755
(enacted September 24, 1998), which requires every electric
service provider in the state to develop a standard contract or
tariff providing for net energy metering for eligible customer -
generators. This standard contract or tariff is to be made
available to eligible customer -generators upon request, on a
first -come, first -serviced basis until the time that the total
rated generating capacity used by eligible customer -generators
equals one -tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the electric service
provider's aggregate customer peak demand.
Submitted herewith is proposed Schedule No. NM, Net Metering,
which has also been reviewed by the City Attorney, and it is
hereby recommended that said Schedule be approved.
Very truly yours,
$ruce V. Malke1_d s

SUBJECT: Net Metering
Assembly Bill 1755, which was enacted on September 24, 1998, requires every electric service
provider in the state to develop a standard contract on ariff providing for net energy metering for
eligible customer -generators. AB 1755 defines an eligible customer -generator as a residential or
small commercial customer who uses a solar or wind turbine electrical generating facility, or a
hybrid system of both, with a capacity of not more than 10 kW that is located on the customer's
premises. This standard contract or tariff is to be made available to eligible customer -generators,
upon request, on a first -come, first -serviced basis until the time that the total rated generating
capacity used by eligible customer -generators equals one -tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the
electric service providers aggregate customer peak demand.
For the City of Vernon, the impact will be minimal. Based on a worst -case scenario, assuming a
peak of approximately 200 MW for the coming summer, the City would lose approximately
200 kW of load meaning our peak would be reduced to approximately 199.8 MW.
I recommend approval of the attached City of Vernon, Utilities Department, Schedule No. NM,
Net Metering. The City Attorney has reviewed this Schedule.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact me. Thank you for your consideration.

APPLICABILITY
Applicable to individually metered residential service and small commercial service for customers
who meet these requirements:
Customer owns and operates a solar or wind turbine electrical generating facility or a hybrid system
of both with a capacity of not more than 10 kilowatts that is located on the customer's premises.
a. The generating facility operates in parallel with the Department's transmission and
distribution facilities.
b. The generating facility is intended to primarily offset part or all of the customer's own
electrical requirements.
C. Customer pays all costs associated with the Department's interconnection of customer's
generation.
d. Customer signs a Parallel GenerationInterconnection Agreement provided by the Department.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
a. Net energy metering means measuring the difference between the electricity supplied through
the electric grid and the electricity generated on the customer's premises and fed back to the
electric grid.
b. Net energy metering shall be accomplished using a non -demand, non -time differentiated meter
capable of registering the flow of electricity in two directions. If the existing electrbal meter
is not capable of measuring the flow of electricity in two directions, the customer shall be
responsible for the expense of purchasing and installing a meter that is able to measure
electricity flow in two directions. If an additional meter or meters are installed, the net
metering calculation shall yield a result identical to that of a single meter.
C. The Department at its expense may purchase and install additional meters with the consent of
the customer to provide the information necessary to accurately credit or bill the customer or
to collect solar or wind generating system performance information for research purposes.

Schedule NM (cont.)
d. This schedule will be closed to all new customers once the aggregate capacity of all residential
and small commercial solar or wind turbine electrical generating facilities or hybrid of both
reaches one tenth of one percent (0.1 %) of Vernon's aggregate customers' peak demand.
e. An eligible customer will be assigned a rate schedule to which it would otherwise be assigned
to if the customer was not eligible under net metering rate schedule. All charges, terms and
Special Conditions under the rate schedule shall remain effective.
BILLING
a. The customer shall be billed for the net energy supplied and other applicable charges under
schedule assigned to it pursuant to Special Condition Subsection (e).
b. In the event the energy generated by the customer and fed back into the utility grid exceeds

C. Each bill shall include the customer's net energy consumption information and current
monetary balance owed to the utility.

is calculated. The conditions for this option are as follows:
1. The Department shall measure the net energy produced or consumed in
accordance with the Department's normal metering practice.
