Existing law requires each entity to make the contract or tariff available to eligible customer-generators, upon request, on a first-come-first-served basis until the time that the total rated generating capacity used by those eligible customer-generators exceeds 5% of the entity's aggregate customer peak demand, except as specified. Existing law requires the commission to develop an additional standard contract or tariff, which may include net energy metering, for eligible customer-generators that are customers of large electrical corporations, as defined, requires each large electrical corporation to offer this standard contract or tariff to its eligible customer-generators beginning July 1, 2017, or before that date if ordered to do so by the commission because it has reached that 5% net energy metering program limit, and prohibits limiting the amount of generating capacity or the number of new eligible customer-generators entitled to receive service pursuant to this standard contract or tariff, as specified.
