Net Excess Generation Notes

"Excess Generation and the Blended Residential Rate: For net metering systems whose completed application was filed on or after January 1, 2017 the blended residential rate, as provided for in section 5.127(A) of rule 5.100, as ordered by the Vermont Public Utility Commission on November 12, 2020, is applicable to excess generation kWh, and is set forth below:

The Blended Residential Rate: $0.12133 per kWh

The blended residential rate is the rate multiplied by excess generation kWh and applied as an additional credit on the customer’s bill. For net metering systems directly interconnected to the electric system through a separate meter whose primary purpose is to measure the energy generated by the system, the Blended Residential Rate is applicable to all generated kWh.

For projects whose completed application was filed on or after July 1, 2019, the applicable REC adjustor is set forth below.

Positive REC Adjustor (+$0.01 per kWh): A positive REC adjustor is applicable to projects that have elected to transfer all RECs to the utility and is one (1) cent per kWh to be multiplied by all kWh from the production meter and applied as an additional credit on the customer’s bill for the first ten years from the date the system is commissioned.

Negative REC Adjustor (-$0.03 per kWh): A negative REC adjustor is applicable to projects that have elected to retain ownership of all RECs and is three (3) cents per kWh rate to be multiplied by all kWh from the production meter and applied as an additional charge on the customer’s bill, in perpetuity

Positive Siting Adjustor: A positive siting adjustor is the $ per kWh rate to be multiplied by all kWh from the production meter and applied as an additional credit on the customer’s bill for the first ten years from the date the

system is commissioned.

Negative Siting Adjustor: A negative Siting adjustor is the $ per kWh rate to be multiplied by all kWh from the production meter and applied as an additional charge on the customer’s bill, in perpetuity.

For projects whose completed application was filed on or after July 1, 2018, the applicable Siting Adjustor is set forth below:

 Category I = (+$.01 per kWh) / 1 cent per kWh;

 Category II = (+$.01 per kWh) / 1 cent per kWh;"

f. The project limits of disturbance and the total acreage of any disturbed area, including any necessary and

associated distribution upgrades.

f. Proposed utilities, including the distance from source of power, sizes of service available and required, and

locations of any proposed utility or communication lines. Indicate whether utility lines are overhead or

underground.

g. A description of any areas where vegetation is to be cleared, altered, or mowed/managed during

Provide copies of One-Line Diagrams showing the generation facility equipment; this is required for all projects. Projects over 150 KW in size require the One-Line Diagrams to be signed and stamped by a licensed Electrical Engineer (PE).

Install Reqs

The customer shall provide a lockable disconnect switch which meets NEC requirements and is accessible by first responders as per NEC requirements. This switch shall also be accessible by the Utility’s employees, and may be used to prevent parallel operation under certain circumstances. Contact your local utility as they may have additional requirements for the disconnect. The disconnect switch shall be clearly marked ‘Generator Disconnect Switch’ with permanent letters, a minimum of 3/8 inch high. The preferred location of the generator disconnect switch is that it be located outdoors within 10 feet of the Utility’s electric service meter.
