(1) Net Metering is available on a “first come, first serve” basis determined by the date the utility notifies the DG Customer that it has received a complete project application.
(2) Demand customers will be subject to applicable actual metered demand charges consumed in that billing period. The Company will not adjust the demand charge to reflect demand ratchets or monthly demand minimums that might be applied to a standard tariff for net metering.
