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.
