PUC Directs Utility To File Net Metering Tariffs
SCC ordered that APCo’s rider N.M.S. II is approved and APCo must file revised tariffs by October 27, 2025.
As background, APCo filed a petition to revise its net metering program as required by regulations. APCo proposes to replace its Rider NMS, which compensates excess generation at the full retail rate, with Rider NMS II, which compensates at an avoided-cost rate.
In its petition APCo also proposed to eliminate the 6% net metering cap, arguing that it is unnecessary in light of the proposed cost-based structure. It also a “grandfathering provision” for current customer-generators that would allow continued service under Rider NMS for 25 years, providing the customer does not replace or add equipment resulting in an increase in system output more than the greater of 10% or 1kW.
