Your NEM account will continue to bill under your current NEM program until your 20-year eligibility period expires, or until your account loses eligibility to remain on the NEM program, whichever is earlier. When that occurs, your account will automatically move to the new Solar Billing Plan or the successor rate plan available at the time of transition. 

As of April 15, 2023, the NEM 2.0 program is closed to new applicants. Applications submitted after April 15, 2023 will be processed under Solar Billing Plan for Residential or Solar Billing Plan for Business.  

If your NEM 2.0 application has been deemed valid by SCE, you will have until April 14, 2026, to submit your final documents to retain eligibility. 

Yes, SBP-A customers are eligible for Net Surplus Compensation. 

Customers who are currently interconnected under a standard SBP contract can change to an SBP-A contract provided they have multiple electric accounts on the same property as the renewable generator, or the properties are contiguous or adjacent. All the properties must be solely owned, leased, or rented by the SCE customer of record.  

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

• 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)  

No. We will allocate kWh generation to all your accounts in the aggregation arrangement throughout the 12-month billing period so that energy credits are applied appropriately. However, there may be instances where energy credits are leftover and cannot be applied to other Service Accounts. 

All accounts in an SBP-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 SBP-A arrangement, but accounts may not be shared across multiple arrangements. 

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

The removal of an account from an SBP-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 SBP-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 an SBP-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 automated billing set-up fee for every account in the SBP-A arrangement. Any account added to an SBP-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 SBP-A arrangement will be billed individually. Summary billing is not available for SBP-A accounts.  

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