Solar-powered affordable housing system: Requirements for tariff or contract.
Nev. Rev. Stat. § 704.7733
in effectAny tariff or contract which relates to a solar-powered affordable housing system must include, without limitation:
1. The particular limitations and responsibilities of a customer-generator who is an owner of a solar-powered affordable housing system, a customer-generator who is a user of a solar-powered affordable housing system and the utility.
2. A provision authorizing the allocation by the owner of a solar-powered affordable housing system, in consultation with the owner of the qualified multifamily affordable housing property where the solar-powered affordable housing system is located, of the financial benefits of the electricity produced by the solar-powered affordable housing system in a manner which ensures net metering credits are equitably allocated among the tenant units:
(a) As a percentage of system production in proportion to the size of each tenant unit measured in square feet; or
(b) In equal proportion to all tenant units, regardless of the size of each tenant unit.
Ê An equitable allocation of the financial benefits of the electricity produced by the solar-powered affordable housing system to the occupants does not preclude any allocation of the generation output to common-area accounts.
3. The manner in which the owner of a solar-powered affordable housing system is required to inform and update the utility on the proper allocation of capacity and its associated production to customer-generators of the solar-powered affordable housing system pursuant to NRS 704.7737 . The allocation of capacity and its associated production to customer-generators of the solar-powered affordable housing system must:
(a) Ensure that not less than 80 percent of the total allocation is reserved for tenant units. In the event a tenant unit is vacant, unallocated net metering credits for that unit that are designated for assignment to the account of the owner or a common-area account pursuant to paragraph (b) must not be considered for the purposes of this paragraph.
(b) Provide the owner with the option to designate the assignment of unallocated net metering credits to either the account of the owner or a common-area account.
4. The manner in which a utility is required to meter and bill customer-generators who are allocated shares of the capacity of a solar-powered affordable housing system by way of the provision of net metering credits on the bill of a customer-generator.
5. Provisions governing the interconnection of a solar-powered affordable housing system to the system of the utility without requiring the meters of individual users, common-area meters or owners of the solar-powered affordable housing system to be directly interconnected to the solar-powered affordable housing system, including, without limitation, fees for interconnections and procedures and timelines that are consistent with the procedures and timelines established for other net metering systems.
6. Provisions for the allocation of net metering credits for each kilowatt-hour of excess electricity for a system that has a capacity of:
(a) Not more than 25 kilowatts, in accordance with NRS 704.7732 ; and
(b) More than 25 kilowatts but not more than 1 megawatt, in accordance with applicable requirements for a net metering tariff and a standard net metering contract established by the Commission pursuant to NRS 704.773 .
7. Provisions governing fees or other charges which the utility may impose on an owner or user of a solar-powered affordable housing system, which:
(a) Must prohibit the utility from imposing any:
(1) Monthly fee or charge on an owner or user of a solar-powered affordable housing system for the provision of net metering credits.
(2) Fee or charge on a user of a solar-powered affordable housing system to initiate the allocation of net metering credits.
(3) Fee or charge on the owner of a qualified multifamily affordable housing property, if the person is not the owner of the solar-powered affordable housing system, for the application to install a net metering system or to initiate the allocation of net metering credits.
(4) Fee or charge for a change to the occupancy of a tenant unit, unless there are two or more such changes to the same tenant unit in a 12-month period for which a fee or charge may be imposed pursuant to subparagraph (1) of paragraph (b).
(b) May impose:
(1) For the second and any subsequent change to the occupancy of the same tenant unit in a 12-month period, a fee or charge for remote connection of the tenant unit to the system which is associated with establishing service, billed to the owner of the solar-powered affordable housing system.
(2) A one-time fee or charge on the owner of a solar-powered affordable housing system to initiate the allocation of net metering credits for the solar-powered affordable housing system, in an amount which represents the lesser of $25 for each user or $500 for each solar-powered affordable housing system.
8. Provisions governing the manner in which the utility will provide aggregated and anonymized data relating to net metering credits to the owner of the solar-powered affordable housing system, which must require the utility to provide such data on an annual basis and in a form which is sufficient to enable the owner to verify that users of the solar-powered affordable housing system are provided net metering credits accurately.
