Net Energy Metering 2.0

Net Energy Metering (NEM) was mandated by state legislation in the mid-2000s, which allows for solar customers to remain fully interconnected to the electric or power grid and receive a retail credit, kWh for kWh, on their entire bill for all excess energy sent back to the grid. The legislation mandated that we offer retail NEM up to 5 percent (30 MW) of our peak aggregate load, a mandate Anaheim Public Utilities met in 2019.

To continue the adoption of solar, Anaheim transitioned to NEM 2.0 for all new solar installations approved by the City’s Planning and Building Department after December 31, 2020. NEM 2.0 highlights are:

  • Excess energy sent back to the grid will be paid to you as a credit on your current bill calculated by multiplying the Annual Cash Compensation (ACC) rate and a Time of Delivery Factor. See below for additional information regarding this calculation.
  • As all customer-generated energy received by the grid is compensated at the ACC, there is no banking of excess energy received by Anaheim under NEM 2.0.
