Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 114.
(1) For
				  a customer with a generation system capable of generating 20 kWac or less, an
				  electric utility shall determine the customer's power flow in each direction
				  using the customer's existing meter if it is capable of measuring and recording
				  power flow in each direction. If the customer's meter is not capable of
				  measuring and recording the customer's power flow in each direction and if
				  meter upgrades or modifications are required, all of the following apply:
(a) An electric utility serving 1,000,000 or
				  more customers in this state shall provide a meter or meters capable of
				  measuring and recording the customer's power flow in each direction at no
				  additional charge to the distributed generation program customer. The cost of
				  the meter or meter modification is considered a cost of operating the
				  distributed generation program.
(b)
				  An electric utility serving fewer than 1,000,000 customers in this state shall
				  provide a meter or meters capable of measuring and recording the power flow in
				  each direction to customers at cost. Only the incremental cost above the cost
				  for the meter provided by the electric utility to similarly situated
				  non-generating customers shall be paid by the eligible customer.
(c) An electric utility shall provide a
				  generator meter at cost, if requested by the customer.

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 116.
(1)
				  Legacy net metering program customers with a system capable of generating 20
				  kWac or less qualify for true net metering. For customers qualifying for true
				  net metering, the net of the bidirectional flow of kWh across the customer
				  interconnection with the electric utility distribution system during the
				  billing period or during each time-of-use pricing period within the billing
				  period, including excess generation, shall be credited at the full retail
				  rate.
(2) The credit for excess
				  generation, if any, shall appear on the next bill. Any excess credit not used
				  to offset current charges must be carried forward for use in subsequent billing
				  periods.
Michigan Administrative Code › Department - Licensing and Regulatory Affairs › Public Service Commission › Interconnection and Distributed Generation Standards › Part 3 - DISTRIBUTED GENERATION PROGRAM STANDARDS › Section R. 460.1018 - Billing and credit for legacy net metering program customers taking service under modified net metering

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 118.
(1)
				  Legacy net metering program customers with a system capable of generating more
				  than 20 kWac qualify for modified net metering. A negative net metered quantity
				  during the billing period or during each time-of-use pricing period within the
				  billing period reflects net excess generation for which the customer is
				  entitled to receive credit. Standby charges for customers on an energy rate
				  schedule must equal the retail distribution charge applied to the imputed
				  customer usage during the billing period. The imputed customer usage is
				  calculated as the sum of the metered on-site generation and the net of the
				  bidirectional flow of power across the customer interconnection during the
				  billing period. The commission shall establish standby charges for customers on
				  demand-based rate schedules that provide an equivalent contribution to electric
				  utility system costs. Standby charges may not be applied to customers with
				  systems capable of generating 150 kWac or less.
(2) The credit for excess generation must
				  appear on the next bill. Any excess kWh not used to offset current charges must
				  be carried forward for use in subsequent billing periods.
(3) A customer qualifying for modified net
				  metering shall not have legacy net metering program credits applied to
				  distribution charges.
(4) The
				  credit per kWh for kWh delivered into the electric utility's distribution
				  system must be either of the following as determined by the commission:
(a) The monthly average real-time locational
				  marginal price for energy at the commercial pricing node within the electric
				  utility's distribution service territory or for a legacy net metering program
				  customer on a time-based rate schedule, the monthly average real time
				  locational marginal price for energy at the commercial pricing node within the
				  electric utility's distribution service territory during the time-of-use
				  pricing period.
(b) The electric
				  utility's or alternative electric supplier's power supply component, excluding
				  transmission charges, of the full retail rate during the billing period or
				  time-of-use pricing period.

					 reduction act, 2008 PA 295, MCL
					 460.1001 to
					 460.1211. A tariff established

					 460.1001 to
					 460.1211, before the date that

				  generation program.
(2) An electric
				  utility may purchase or trade renewable energy credits from a legacy net
				  metering program or distributed generation program customer if agreed to by the
				  customer.
(3) The commission may
				  develop a program for aggregating renewable energy credits from legacy net
				  metering program and distributed generation program customers.

					 clean and renewable energy and energy waste reduction act, 2008 PA 295, MCL
					 460.1171 to
					 460.1185, the commission shall
					 order remedies and penalties as necessary to make whole a customer or other
					 person who has suffered damages as a result of the violation.

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 126. A customer participating in a legacy net metering
					 program approved by the commission before the commission establishes the
					 initial distributed generation program tariff pursuant to
					 R 460.1020 may elect to continue to
					 receive service under the terms and conditions of that program for up to 10
					 years from the date of initial enrollment. "Initial enrollment," as used in
					 this rule, means the date a customer or site initially enrolled in a legacy net
					 metering program as described in the electric utility's tariff. A customer
					 participating in a legacy net metering program who increases the nameplate
					 rating of its generation system after the effective date of an electric
					 utility's distributed generation program tariff is no longer eligible to
					 participate in the legacy net metering program.
