c. A customer-generator with a customer-generator facility with a nameplate capacity of greater than 500 kW shall maintain general liability coverage in the amount of $1,000,000. The customer-generator must submit evidence of such insurance to the city with the interconnection application. The city’s receipt of evidence of liability insurance does not imply an endorsement of the terms and conditions of the coverage.

11. An eligible customer-generator facility is transferable to other persons or service locations only upon written notification by the customer-generator to the city and verification by a licensed electrician that the facility is in compliance with all applicable safety and power quality standards. All other conditions of service apply.

C. Metering.

1. Net energy metering shall be accomplished by: using a standard meter capable of measuring the flow of electricity in two directions; or two separate meters. If offered to other customers in the same class as the customer-generator, net energy flows may also be measured by time-of-day at the customer-generator’s option by: using a standard meter capable of measuring the flow of electricity in two directions by time-of-day; or two separate meters capable of measuring flows by time-of-day.

2. If the existing electrical meter installed at the customer-generator facility is not capable of measuring the flow of electricity in two directions and by time-of-day as required above, the city shall install new metering equipment for the customer-generator at city expense. Any subsequent metering equipment change necessitated by the customer-generator shall be paid for by the customer-generator.

3. If two meters are used to measure energy flows, for each applicable billing period including time-of-day billing periods, the reading of the meter measuring the flow of energy from the customer-generator to the city shall be subtracted from the reading of the meter measuring the flow of energy from the city to the customer-generator to obtain a measurement of net kW hours for billing purposes.

D. Monthly charges.

1. Generally. Monthly charges shall be calculated using an identical rate structure to the structure that would apply to the customer if it were not a customer-generator.

2. Measurement and charges. The measurement of net electrical energy supplied or generated will be calculated as follows.

a. The net electrical energy produced or consumed during the billing period shall be measured in accordance with normal metering practices.

b. The city shall credit a customer-generator for each kW hour produced by an alternative or renewable energy resource installed on the customer-generator side of the electric meter and delivered to the utility’s electric distribution system through the customer-generator’s electric revenue meter, up to the total amount of electricity delivered by the utility to that customer during the billing period.

c. If a customer-generator supplies more electricity to the electric distribution system than the city delivers to the customer-generator in a given billing period, the excess kW hours shall be carried forward and credited against the customer-generator usage in subsequent billing periods at the full retail rate; provided that, if a customer-generator terminates service with the electric utility, the utility is not required to provide compensation to the customer-generator for any outstanding kW hour credits.

d. Rate credits shall not be applied to reduce any fixed monthly minimum bill, customer charge, demand charges or other charges not related to energy consumption.

e. For customer-generators involved in virtual meter aggregation programs, a credit shall be applied first to the meter through which the customer-generator facility supplies electricity to the distribution system, and then prorated equally to the remaining meters for the customer-generator’s accounts.

E. Equipment design requirements.

1. Data for all major equipment proposed by the customer to satisfy the technical requirements must be submitted for review and approval by the city with a completed interconnection application. To facilitate review and approval, the city will maintain a list of pre-certified equipment.

2. The city list of pre-certified equipment is available upon request and contains pre-certified equipment types, makes, and models of manufactured generating equipment and interconnection system components.

3. This listing is based upon equipment certified by recognized national testing laboratories as suitable for interconnection with a distribution system based upon compliance with IEEE 1547.

4. The use of equipment that is not pre-certified may delay the city review and approval of the customer’s design. All interconnection equipment must be approved by the city prior to being connected to the city distribution system and before parallel operation is allowed.

5. The interconnection system hardware and software design requirements in the technical requirements are intended to assure protection of the city’s distribution system.

(7) Power cost adjustment “PCA”.

A. Applicability. Applicable to all customers receiving service under Schedule RS, Schedule SCS or Schedule LPS.

B. Calculation of monthly factor.

1. The schedules subject to this rider recover $0.0752 per kWh sold of purchased power cost. The city will track the monthly cost of purchased power and the total kWh sales to determine the amount of over or under recovery from the base rates. Power cost includes, but not limited to, all charges from the all-requirements contract with American Municipal Power-Ohio and any other charges passed through from the PJM Interconnection.

2. The city will review the over/under collection of power costs periodically and, if necessary, bill a power cost adjustment factor, either positive or negative, to retail customer bills to make up for the over or under recovery of power cost. The power cost adjustment and charge applied to kWh sales will be shown as a separate item on the customer bill.
