How to Model California’s NEM 3.0 with NEM Programs
ETB Developer users who have been modeling California’s NEM 3.0 know that we had dedicated NEM 3.0 versions of each California IOU and CCA; however, these NEM Programs remove the need to have NEM 3.0 versions of these utilities. The rate schedules for these NEM 3.0 utilities will no longer be updated, and the NEM 3.0 utilities will be merged with the standard utilities.
To model NEM 3.0 scenarios, simply select the standard version of a California utility then select a NBT program. The NBT program contains export energy credits from the corresponding IOU or CCA based on the most recent Avoided Cost Calculator values provided by the California Public Utilities Commission, and this program will be updated every time these values update as well.
