NEM Accounts that are Changing to the 太阳能 Billing Plan
NEM 1.0和NEM 2.0客户, 当你20年的遗产期限结束时, 您的帐户将过渡到太阳能计费计划. 我们将通过电子邮件和短信通知您 我的账户 转型前.
Virtual 净能源计量 and NEM聚合 customers who submit an interconnection application after February 14, 2024, 您的帐户将过渡到太阳能计费计划 in early 2025.
新经济机制如何运作
NEM measures your energy use in both directions: the surplus energy your system sends to the grid and the amount of energy your home or business uses from the grid to fill the gap between what your system generates and your overall energy usage.
If you generate more energy than you use, you can earn generation credits. These credits can be applied to your account to use on a later bill when you owe a balance – perhaps on cloudier months when your system doesn’t get as much sunlight, or when it’s hot out and you’re using more energy to run your AC.
At the end of every 12-month cycle, you will receive your “true-up” bill. This is when your account is reconciled, and you may need to pay off an outstanding balance. After true-up, your account automatically resets for a new 12-month period.
虚拟净能源计量(VNEM)
Virtual 净能源计量 is similar to NEM but involves several customers sharing a single renewable energy system. This option is most applicable to properties with multiple tenants, 比如公寓大楼和办公楼.
For example: If you are a tenant in a four-unit apartment building, and your landlord installs a solar energy system with VNEM, you would be allocated a percentage of that system’s output. 假设你的配置是5%. If that system generates more energy than your building needs, you will get the same percentage of generation credits (5%). The building’s usage would all be calculated through a single meter, 但你还是会收到个人账单.
Note: the existing VNEM 程序 will be closed to new applications after February 14, 2024. Customers who submit an interconnection application after this date will temporarily take service on VNEM until their account transitions to the new Virtual 太阳能 Billing Plan (VSBP) in early 2025. 了解更多关于CPUC的决定.
NEM聚合
NEM聚合 is designed for customers with renewable systems on multi-metered properties. It allows you to “aggregate” your energy production and consumption into one account, so you can offset your non-renewable energy use with your renewable energy surplus.
A good example is a small farm: If the farmhouse is equipped with solar panels that generate surplus energy, that surplus can be used to offset the energy costs incurred by a water pump used for irrigation on another area of the property.
Note: the existing NEM聚合 程序 will be closed to new applications after February 14, 2024. Customers who submit an interconnection application after this date will temporarily take service on NEM聚合 until their account transitions to the new 太阳能 Billing Plan Aggregation (SBPA) in early 2025. 了解更多关于CPUC的决定.
No, NEM doesn’t track all of the energy your renewable system generates. NEM only tracks the surplus energy that flows out of your home or business into the electric grid. We cannot track or advise how much overall energy your system produces.

Per the methodology established by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), when your renewable system exports excess energy to the grid, we compensate you with generation credits at the wholesale market value of that energy. Wholesale market value is applied to excess generation to align with what a utility would pay if it were to purchase renewable energy from a solar facility. The energy you buy from us is priced at the retail market value, 哪个价格通常比批发价格高, although the pricing of both fluctuates with the market over time.
We offer NEM pricing plans that are compatible with 医学基础, so you can keep your allowance and necessary measures can be taken to keep your health equipment running. 访问我们的 医学基础 浏览更多信息.
