This schedule is applicable to service for customers where a part or all of the electrical requirements of the customer can be supplied from a solar or wind power production source owned and operated by the customer (customer -generator). Customer - generators must currently be served under Lodi's residential rate schedules, or small commercial (G1 and G2) rate schedules. Availability of this schedule to eligible customer -generators will be on a first-come, first -serve basis and will be available until such time as the total rated generating capacity used by eligible customer -generators equals two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the City of Lodi aggregate customer annual peak demand. The solar or wind generation source must: 1) have a capacity of 10kW or less, 2) be located on the customer -generator's premises, 3) be connected for parallel operation with Lodi's distribution facilities, and 4) be intended for the sole purpose of offsetting a part or all of the customer -generator's own electrical requirements. In no case shall the power or energy generated by the customer -owned solar or wind source be available for resale, except as specified under this rider. Additional terms and conditions for service, including terms of interconnection and parallel operation, are specified in a customer -specific Electrical Interconnection and Net Metering Payment Agreement.
