RES-2014-123 RESOLUTION NO. 2414- 123
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM DETERMINING THAT PERMITTING ELIGIBLE
CUSTOMER-GENERATORS TO AGGREGATE THEIR LOAD
FROM MULTIPLE METERS WILL RESULT IN AN
INCREASE TO EXPECTED REVENUE OBLIGATIONS OF
CUSTOMERS THAT ARE NOT ELIGIBLE CUSTOMER-
GENERATORS.
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 594 (2012), effective January 1, 2013, amended
California Public Utilities Code section 2827 to allow a customer with multiple meters to elect to
aggregate the load of the meters located on the property where the renewable electrical
generation facility is located and on all property adjacent or contiguous to the property on which
the renewable electrical generation facility is located, if those properties are solely owned,
leased, or rented by the eligible customer-generator ("aggregate net metering"); and
WHEREAS, the law also provides that a local publicly owned electric utility shall
only allow aggregate net metering if the local publicly owned electric utility's ratemaking
authority makes a determination that permitting eligible customer-generators to aggregate their
load from multiple meters will not result in an i�crease in the expected revenue obligations of
customers that are not eligible customer-generators; and
WHEREAS, the law further provides that in making this determination, the
ratemaking authority shall also determine if there are any public purpose or other non-
commodity charges that the eligible customer-generator would pay pursuant to the net metering
program of the local publicly owned electric utility as it exists prior to aggregation, that the
eligible customer-generator would not pay if permitted to aggregate the electrical load of
multiple meters; and
WHEREAS, this determination must occur within 180 calendar days of the first
request made by a customer to aggregate their load; and
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim ("Anaheim") received its first request by a
customer to aggregate their load for net metering on February 25, 2014, which started the 180-
day clock, with the deadline for the City Council determination by August 25, 2014; and
WHEREAS, Public Utilities Code section 2827 defines "eligible customer-
generators" as specified customers that use a renewable electrical energy facility located on the
customer's premises to offset part or all of the customer's own electrical requirements: and
WHEREAS, the staff report and information accompanying this resolution
demonstrate that permitting eligible customer-generators to aggregate their load from multiple
meters will result in an increase in the expected revenue obligations of customers that are not
eligible customer-generators.
