REMOTE NET METERING
PUBLIC ENTITY CERTIFICATION AGREEMENT
The Clean Energy Act, P.L. 2018, Chapter 17, Section 6, requires the New Jersey
Board of Public Utilities (“Board”) to establish an application and approval process to
facilitate Remote Net Metering (“RNM”). Specifically, the application and approval
process shall enable the Board to:
certify public entities to act as a host customer for remote net
metering generating capacity. A public entity certified to act
as a host customer may allocate credits to other public
entities within the same electric public utility service territory.
A copy of the agreement between the public entity certified
to act as a host customer and other public entities
designated to receive credits shall be provided to the electric
public utility before remote net metering credits may be
applied to a customer bill. A public entity certified to act as a
host customer may host a solar energy project with a
capacity up to the total average usage of the electric public
utility accounts for the host public entity customer.
This form must be submitted by a Host Public Entity Customer (“Host Customer”) to the
Electric Distribution Company (“EDC”) serving the Host Customer and be accompanied
by an application to interconnect a solar electric generation facility with the EDC
(Interconnection Application/Agreement – Part 1). A copy of these forms must also be
submitted to the Board Secretary’s Office.

The maximum facility size is to be calculated based upon the total average electricity
usage of the host customer account(s) as listed below. To perform this calculation, the
total usage over the previous twelve months for at least one metered electricity account
located on the host customer’s property must be recorded herein. If more than one
account is used, the total usage must be summed and divided by the number of host
customer accounts used for sizing purposes. The EDC shall review this Certification
Agreement and recommend approval or rejection to Board Staff based upon the EDC’s
review of the data submitted and account billing history. Board Staff will present a
recommendation to the Board on the request for Public Entity Certification at a regularly
scheduled Board Agenda meeting.
This Public Entity Certification Agreement is to be used to implement the Remote Net
Metering Program as approved by the Board of Public Utilities via directive issued on
September 17, 2018. Subsequent rulemaking may make this version of the standard
form of agreement obsolete. The responsibilities of the EDCs are limited to those
addressed by Board Order and do not include resolving disputes which may arise
between host and credit receiving customers.
