Utah Admin. Code R746-312-15 - Aggregation of Meters for Net Metering Interconnection
(1) To measure electricity usage under the
net metering program, a public utility must, upon request from an
interconnection customer, aggregate for billing purposes a meter to which the
net metering facility is physically attached, the designated meter, with one or
more meters, the additional meter, in the manner set out in Section
R746-312-15. This rule applies
only if:
(a) the additional meter is located
on or adjacent to the premises of the electrical corporation's customer,
subject to the electrical corporation's service requirements;
(b) the additional meter is used to measure
only electricity used for the interconnection customer's
requirements;
(c) the designated
meter and the additional meter are subject to the same rate schedule;
and
(d) the designated meter and
the additional meter are served by the same primary feeder.
(2) An interconnection customer must give at
least 30 business days' notice to the utility to request that additional meters
be included in meter aggregation. The specific meters must be identified when
the request is made. If more than one additional meter is identified, the
interconnection customer must designate the ranking order for the additional
meters to which net metering credits, as defined in Subsection
54-15-104(3) and
approved by the governing authority, are to be applied.
(3) The aggregation of meters will apply only
to charges that use kilowatt-hours as the billing determinant. Other charge
applicable to each meter account shall be billed to the interconnection
customer.
(4) If in a monthly
billing period the net metering facility supplies more electricity to the
public utility than the energy usage recorded by the interconnection customer's
designated meter, the utility will apply credits, as defined in Subsection
54-15-104(3) and
approved by the governing authority, to the next monthly bill for the excess
kilowatt-hours first to the designated meter, then to additional meters that
are on the same rate schedule as the designated meter.
(5) If an additional meter changes service to
a rate schedule that is different than the designated meter, the additional
meter is not eligible for net metering credits, as defined in Subsection
54-15-104(3) and
approved by the governing authority, for the rest of the billing year and until
the additional meter receives service on the same rate schedule as the
designated meter.
(6) If the
designated meter changes service to a different rate schedule, aggregation of
net metering credits is not allowed for the rest of the billing year and may
not occur until the additional meters receive service on the same rate schedule
as the designated meter.
(7) With
the governing authority's earlier approval, a public utility may charge the
interconnection customer requesting to aggregate meters a reasonable fee to
cover the administrative costs of this provision.
