Everything You Need To Know About NEM 3.0

What is NEM 3.0?​

NEM 3.0 is a new version of the net energy metering (NEM) billing structure that goes into effect April 14th, 2023, in California, enabling utilities to reduce homeowner export rates​

How do I lock in my customer’s current NEM 2.0 rate?​

  • A submitted interconnection agreement by April 14th, 2023 that meets the following criteria:​
    • Your customer's name must match the name on the utility bill​
    • Include a signed contract with a CSLB disclosure document and signed Customer Protection Guide​
    • Includes a single line diagram (SLD)​
    • Includes oversizing verification (if needed)​
       
  • The system must be installed within three years of application approval to qualify​

Will NEM 3.0 impact my customers with existing solar?​

No. All systems with an interconnection application dated before April 14th will remain under their current structure.​

How will battery benefit my NEM 3.0 customers?​

NEM 3.0 incentivizes homeowners to export to the grid from a battery during certain times of the year. Homeowners are also incentivized to maximize self consumption as much as possible.​

Will NEM 3.0 affect homeowners with existing solar?​

No. All systems with an interconnection application dated before April 14th, 2023, will retain their current NEM 1.0 or NEM 2.0 status.

Can customers enrolled in NEM 3.0 still export energy back to the grid? ​

Yes. However, their rate of compensation will be reduced​

Are there system size limitations under NEM 3.0?​

Yes. You may only oversize systems up to 50% greater than their previous 12 month’s energy usage.​

How often will the export rates be updated?​

The Avoided Cost Calculator (ACC) will be updated every two years. ​

Is there an additional grid access fee homeowners will have to pay under NEM 3.0?​

There is no additional access fee outside of the standard $10-15 monthly access fee that exists currently. ​

How are utilities incentivizing battery installs?​

PG&E and SCE are offering homeowners monetary incentives on top of the standard export rate for up to 9 years. These "adders" will vary among utilities, income brackets, and will decrease over the years.​

Do customers get adders by default, or do they need to apply for them?​

Assuming the system meets the NEM 3.0 requirements, homeowners will receive the adders automatically.​

If the system changes ownership, can the new owner reapply for adders?​

They can not, the adders only apply to “the customer that originally causes the system to be installed”. ​

How will True Up Bills be affected?​

Under NEM 3.0, True Up Bills will be monthly, not annually.​

If a NEM 1.0 or 2.0 system changes ownership, will it move to NEM 3.0?​

No, the system remains under its original interconnection agreement.

If my customer’s system was installed under NEM 2.0, can they add battery storage and keep their status?​

Yes. If your customer’s approved interconnection agreement was submitted before April 14th, 2023, they may add battery storage anytime and retain NEM 2.0 status.​
