Nev. Admin. Code § 704.Sec. 16 - NEW
1.
All of the costs of implementing an expanded solar access program, with the
exception of any rate discount tracked pursuant to subsection 4 of section 15 ,
must be accounted for in the books and records of an electric utility in
regulatory asset accounts which are separate from costs and amounts
attributable to any other activity. All such accounts must be maintained in a
manner that will allow costs and amounts attributable to specific programs to
be readily identified. The calculation for the regulatory asset account for the
capital costs of a community-based solar resource begins on the last day of the
month following the date on which the resource is made available as a
community-based solar resource.
2.
An electric utility shall recover all prudent and reasonable expenditures of
implementing the expanded solar access program, provided that such expenditures
arise out of actions that have been approved by the Commission as part of the
electric utility's expanded solar access program plan.
3. An electric utility must submit the
regulatory asset accounts associated with the expanded solar access program to
the Commission with the electric utility's annual deferred energy accounting
adjustment application submitted pursuant to
NRS
704.187, with proposals to recover the
accumulated balance of the expanded solar access program costs and for the
recovery of and return on the costs for the construction or acquisition of any
community-based solar resource dedicated to the expanded solar access program
by the electric utility.
4. All
expenditures related to the expanded solar access program are public policy
costs that must be charged to all customer classes of an electric utility,
including, without limitation, distribution-only service customers.
5. The portfolio energy credits generated:
(a) From the expanded solar access program
must be used for renewable portfolio standard compliance by the electric
utility implementing the expanded solar access program; and
(b) From community-based solar resources must
be allocated between the electric utility implementing the expanded solar
access program and its distribution-only service customers on a load ratio
basis.
