Chapter 315. Regulations Governing Net Energy Metering |
Section 10. Applicability and scope
-
These regulations are promulgated pursuant to the provisions of § 56-594 of the Virginia Electric Utility Regulation Act (§ 56-576 et seq. of the Code of Virginia). They establish requirements intended to facilitate net energy metering for customers owning and operating, or contracting with persons to own or operate, or both, electrical generators that use specific types of renewable energy as the total fuel source. These regulations will standardize the interconnection requirements for such facilities and will govern the metering, billing, payment and contract requirements between net metering customers, electric distribution companies and energy service providers. Agricultural net metering customers are subject to the same provisions as nonagricultural net metering customers unless otherwise specified.
The amendments regarding agricultural net metering apply to customers of investor-owned electric utilities on July 1, 2014, and apply to customers of electric cooperatives on July 1, 2015, as provided in the State Corporation Commission's Order Adopting Regulations, Case No. PUE-2014-00003, dated June 23, 2014, and published in the Virginia Register of Regulations, Volume 30, Issue 23, July 14, 2014.
