Net Energy Metering (NEM) is a program that allows the utility meter to spin backwards every time a customer’s solar system generates more energy than their home or business can use at any given point in time. Join our action list to help defeat the utility’s attempts to kill rooftop solar in California today! NEM-2 for customers of pg&e, edison, and sdg&E They also recommended removing the 20-year grandfathering for existing customers and they recommended that the economic value of going solar be reduced 50-75% from what it is today. In other words, asking consumers to go solar without knowing the terms and conditions of the NEM program they’d sign up for. Some of the changes they suggested include, forcing solar customers onto new NEM tariff starting in January 2021, long before the successor tariff defined. In those comments, the utilities called for drastic cuts to NEM that would harm the ability for consumers to invest in their own solar energy system. Or, it could usher in a new era of growth for not just solar but solar combined with energy storage, or batteries, to bring greater consumer savings and clean energy to California.Ĭalifornia’s investor-owned utilities, PG&E, Southern California Edison, and Sempra Gas Company, which owns San Diego Gas & Electric, jointly filed opening comments. The so-called “NEM 3” decision could either kill the rooftop solar market in California, as other states like Nevada and Hawaii have done in the recent past. In August 2020, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) opened up a new proceeding to change California’s NEM program for a second time in four years.
