NPRR945  Net Metering Requirements

This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) clarifies when an All-Inclusive Generation Resource may be netted against Load for Settlement purposes. This NPRR confirms that an All-Inclusive Generation Resource and Load may be netted behind a single Point of Interconnection (POI) as long as the Load is otherwise being lawfully served without use of the ERCOT Transmission Grid. The Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA) and existing Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) rules and precedent legally determine when and how Load can be served without using the ERCOT Transmission Grid. This NPRR does not change or expand that existing law, but invokes it to limit generation netting behind a common POI. This NPRR also sunsets provisions that previously allowed netting for sites with multiple interconnections, which were meant to address historical interconnection arrangements that are no longer common practice. Sites that are being netted today under these provisions are grandfathered in the NPRR. Finally, this NPRR addresses outdated references to “Generation” or “generation” that should refer to All-Inclusive Generation Resources under today’s Resource definitions.
