A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL MAKING A
DETERMINATION THAT NET ENERGY METERING
AGGREGATION (NEMA) RESULTS IN A COST SHIFT TO
CUSTOMERS WITHOUT ELIGIBLE ON-SITE RENEWABLE
GENERATION AND TO PROHIBIT NEMA IN THE LODI
ELECTRIC UTILITY SERVICE TERRITORY
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 594 (2012) amended Public Utilities Code Section 2827
allowing certain customers to aggregate the loads from multiple meters and net meter
them with an eligible generation facility located on the same or adjacent property; and
WHEREAS, Public Utilities Code Section 2827 states that a local publicly -owned
electric utility shall only allow eligible customer generators to aggregate their load if the
utility's ratemaking authority determines that allowing eligible customer generators to
aggregate their load from multiple meters will not result in an increase in the expected
revenue obligations of customers that are not eligible customer generators; and
WHEREAS, calculations show that a cost shift would occur under Net Energy
Metering Aggregate (NEMA) thereby resulting in increased revenue obligations of non -
eligible customer generators.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby makes
a determination that Net Energy Metering Aggregation will result in a cost shift to
customers without eligible on-site renewable generation; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in accordance with the forgoing determination
and Public Utilities Code Section 2827, Lodi shall not allow Net Energy Metering
Aggregation in the Lodi Electric Utility service territory.
