2021 Montana Code Annotated|Title 69. Public Utilities and Carriers|Chapter 8. Electric Utility Industry Generation Reintegration|Part 6. Net Metering|69-8-602. Utility net metering requirements

  69-8-602. (Temporary) Utility net metering requirements. A utility shall:   (1) allow net metering systems to be interconnected using a standard kilowatt-hour meter capable of registering the flow of electricity in two directions, unless the commission determines, after appropriate notice and opportunity for comment:   (a) that the use of additional metering equipment to monitor the flow of electricity in each direction is necessary and appropriate for the interconnection of net metering systems, after taking into account the benefits and costs of purchasing and installing additional metering equipment; and   (b) how the costs of net metering are to be allocated between the customer-generator and the utility; and   (2) charge the customer-generator a minimum monthly fee that is the same as other customers of the electric utility in the same rate class. The commission shall determine, after appropriate notice and opportunity for comment if:   (a) the utility will incur direct costs associated with interconnecting or administering net metering systems that exceed any offsetting benefits associated with these net metering systems; and   (b) public policy is best served by imposing these costs on the customer-generator, rather than allocating these costs among the utility's entire customer base.   69-8-602. (Effective on occurrence of contingency) Utility net metering requirements. (1) A utility shall allow net metering systems to be interconnected using a standard kilowatt-hour meter capable of registering the flow of electricity in two directions.   (2) (a) If the commission determines, after appropriate notice and opportunity for comment, that the use of additional metering equipment to monitor the flow of electricity in each direction is necessary and appropriate for the interconnection of net metering systems, the commission may establish additional metering equipment requirements.   (b) The commission shall consider the benefits and costs to a public utility and a customer-generator of purchasing and installing additional metering equipment and how the costs of additional net metering equipment are to be allocated between the customer-generator and the public utility.   (3) (a) The commission shall charge the customer-generator an appropriate rate pursuant to 69-3-306.   (b) Notwithstanding 69-8-610 through 69-8-612, if the commission determines, after appropriate notice and opportunity for comment, that a public utility is incurring direct costs associated with interconnecting or administering net metering systems that exceed any offsetting benefits associated with these net metering systems, the commission may impose these costs on the customer-generator, rather than allocating these costs among the public utility's entire customer base.

(2) The commission, after appropriate notice and opportunity for comment, may adopt by rule additional safety, power quality, and interconnection requirements for customer-generators that the commission determines are necessary to protect public safety and net metering system reliability.   (3) The commission shall biennially review and update, if necessary, interconnection requirements and rules for customer-generators to ensure that the requirements and rules:   (a) comply with the most up-to-date national electrical and safety codes and standards; and   (b) are being properly implemented by public utilities subject to this part and other utilities under the commission's jurisdiction that administer net metering programs.

  69-8-611. Classification of service -- net metering customers. (1) After a study is completed in accordance with 69-8-610 and subject to subsections (2) and (4) of this section, if the commission finds that customer-generators should be served under a separate classification of service as part of a public utility's general rate case, it shall establish appropriate classifications and rates based on the commission's findings relative to:   (a) the utility system benefits of the net metering resource; and   (b) the cost to provide service to customer-generators.   (2) The commission may, based on differences between net metering systems, establish subclassifications and rates as part of a public utility's general rate case.   (3) The commission may approve separate rates for customer-generators' production and consumption and require separate metering subject to 69-8-602 if it finds it is in the public interest and as part of a public utility's general rate case.   (4) If a public utility files a general rate case in accordance with Title 69, chapter 3, the general rate case must include the study required in accordance with 69-8-610 and be used by the commission to meet the requirements of the review of classifications of service required in this section.
