Customers who are currently interconnected under a standard NEM contract can change to a NEM-A contract provided you have multiple electric accounts on the same property as the renewable generator or property is contiguous or adjacent to that property, so long as all the properties are solely owned, leased, or rented by you. You must also be the customer of record on all SCE accounts and the accounts must have been established prior to December 15, 2022.

To initiate this request the customer must send the following documents to Customer.Generation@sce.com with the subject line of “NEM-A Program Change <Project Number>”: 

• NEM-A Form 14-937
• Plot Plan
• A parcel map which clearly identifies the locations of the benefiting account meters
• Property Lease/Ownership Agreement(s) (if applicable) 
   

Note: If you change your standard NEM contract to a NEM-A contract you will be permanently ineligible for Net Surplus Compensation, even if the account is reverted back to a standard NEM contract.

Yes, NEM-A billing is now available through MyAccount. 

To qualify, your renewable generating facility must be sized to not exceed the annual on-site usage of all the aggregated accounts. 

All accounts in an NEM-A arrangement must be either (1) all Bundled Service Accounts; or (2) all Direct Access (DA) Service Accounts served by the same Energy Service Provider (ESP); or (3) all Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) Service Accounts served by the same CCA. You can have more than one NEM-A arrangement, but accounts may not be shared across multiple arrangements. 

You can change the accounts (either add or remove) included in an NEM-A arrangement once in a 12-month billing period.

The removal of an account from an NEM-A arrangement will trigger a settlement bill for that account only. The remaining accounts on the arrangement will continue on their existing 12-month billing period.

Adding an account does not trigger a new 12-month billing period.

Notification of any modification to the NEM-A arrangement must be provided to us via email at least 60 days before the change takes effect. The change will remain in effect for a minimum of 12 months. Documentation should be emailed to customer.generation@sce.com. 

If it is determined that distribution system upgrades are required to interconnect a NEM-A generator, the customer would be responsible for the cost if they are the only beneficiary of the required upgrade. For example, if the transformer only serves your property and accounts. If the transformer serves other customers, you would not be responsible for any distribution system upgrade costs.

There is a one-time $16 set-up fee for every account in the NEM-A arrangement. Any account added to a NEM-A arrangement is subject to this one-time fee. There is also a $2.70 monthly billing fee per account. 

All accounts included in a NEM-A arrangement will be billed individually. Summary billing is not available for NEM-A accounts.

All NEM-A accounts will be billed monthly for both energy and non-energy charges.

As with any other NEM 2.0 project, the generating account meter must be capable of measuring the excess generation exported to the grid in 15-minute intervals. Once your interconnection request is submitted, SCE will determine if the correct metering is in place for NEM. If needed, we will set up proper metering.

If you submitted an NEM application prior to February 15, 2024 and you have multiple electric accounts on the same property as the renewable generator or property is contiguous or adjacent to that property, you can install a generator up to the aggregated load of all accounts, so long as all the properties are solely owned, leased, or rented by you. You must also be the customer of record on all SCE accounts and the accounts must have been established prior to December 15, 2022.
