Existing law requires each electric utility in this State to offer net metering to customer-generators operating in the service area of the utility. (NRS 704.773) Section 10 and 11 of this bill authorize the users of a low-income housing shared net metering system to participate in net metering. Sections 2-7 of this bill define terms related to low-income housing shared net metering systems. Section 8 of this bill excludes persons who own or operate a low-income housing shared net metering system from the definition of “public utility.” Section 9 of this bill makes a conforming change to make the definitions set forth in sections 2-7 applicable to the law governing net metering. Sections 12-14 of this bill revise existing provisions governing net metering to provide for the administration of net metering with respect to low-income housing shared net metering systems, including the measuring of net electricity produced or consumed and the awarding of credit for excess electricity produced by a low-income housing shared net metering system. Section 12 of this bill requires the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada to adopt regulations prescribing the form and substance for a low-income housing shared net metering tariff or tariffs and a standard low-income housing shared net metering contract. Section 15 of this bill provides that, with certain exceptions, certain provisions governing the rates charged for the provision of electric service by the landlord of a manufactured home park or mobile home park or owner of a company town do not apply to the owner or operator of a low-income housing shared net metering system.
