Net Generation Output Meter (NGOM) Installation Process

An NGOM is required for both Virtual Net Metering interconnection options. The one-time, upfront cost of the NGOM varies depending on the specific configuration of the Interconnection Request (IR).

The following is required to schedule the installation:  

  • Paid NGOM Invoice - The NGOM invoice will be emailed by the assigned SCE Local Planner after an Engineer has reviewed the IR. 
  • The customer must submit a new service request application for the NGOM address using one of the following options:     
              o Contact the SCE Commercial Department at (800) 990-7788, or
              o Email CICORR@sce.com with the completed NGOM Service Request Form                            (Multiple Turn On/Off Requests)
  • Meter release for the new electrical service panel - The Planner must receive the release directly from the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)

Once all requirements are met, a Meter Technician will schedule the installation within 10-15 business days. Upon completion, Permission to Operate (PTO) will be issued

Additional Billing Fees

Schedule NEM-V-ST requires a $25 one-time set-up charge per newly established Benefitting Account, with a $500 cap per arrangement. There is no charge for up to one change per Benefitting Account per 12-month period. A $7.50 charge per account change applies to subsequent changes within that same 12-month period.

The following administrative charges will also apply for disconnect/reconnect. We will inform the owner at the site assessment about what reasonable disconnect/reconnect procedure charges they may expect at the time of interconnection. Cost for disconnect/reconnect will vary depending on the number of hours required to complete this work based on factors including but not limited to: grounding or splicing requirements, the effect of disconnect on multiple customers, SCE’s need to stand by during customer-performed work, or if the disconnect/reconnect occurs outside normal business hours. A site assessment charge could range from $0-$5,000.
