Net Excess Generation Notes

"The nameplate rating of the Renewable Generation shall not exceed the lesser of the Member's estimated maximum annual kilowatt demand or 10 kW

Interconnection Facilities Charge: $5.00 per month, plus the Facilities Charge applicable to the rate schedule under which the Member purchases energy from the Cooperative

In the event the Excess Energy exceeds the delivered energy at the end of the billing month, the Excess Energy shall be accumulated and used to reduce the Member's billed usage in future months. Each year, in the billing month that includes usage incurring on June 30th, the Cooperative will reset the accumulated Excess Energy to zero and pay the Member for any accumulated Excess Energy at the kWh rate the Member is being billed for the energy delivered, provided the Member's Renewable Generator is registered with the North Carolina Utilities Commission using NCRETS and the Member agrees to assign all Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and all environmental attributes associated with the Renewable Generation to the Cooperative.

The Cooperative will furnish, install, own, and maintain metering to measure the kilowatt-hours delivered by the Cooperative to the Member, and if applicable, the kilowatt demand.The Member's service may be metered with: (a) a single, bidirectional meter, which records independently the flow of electricity in each direction through the meter; or (b) at the Cooperative's option, two meters, equipped to prevent reverse registration, one which will measure the energy delivered by the Cooperative to the Member, and the other which will measure the energy delivered by the Member to the Cooperative."

SLD Reqs

One-line diagram of the generation system showing:

i. The generator installation

ii. Transfer switch/switchgear

iii. Service entrance

iv. Lockable and visible disconnect

v. Protection and metering CTs and VTs

vi. Protective relaying and generator control system

No Production Meter Required

Install Reqs

We do not allow “bugs” or Polaris connectors. You will need a branch circuit from the breaker box.

In order for BEMC to complete their compliance testing, they require the system in production mode.

Placards

Owner/Operator will install and maintain a permanent warning label in a conspicuous place in close proximity to the electric meter or on the meter base to notify them personnel that there is a generator installed on the load side of the meter. The warning label shall not be placed in a location that would interfere with the ability of BEMC personnel to read the electric meter. Owner/Operator shall also place a warning label on the Isolation Device.
