The Commission also adopts the CALSEIA proposal that the VNM tariff should be expanded to allow multiple service delivery points at a single site under the tariff. This has been allowed under the MASH VNM tariff since the adoption of D.11-07-031, and has been used successfully by participants, without administrative problems. Net Energy Metering Aggregation The NEMA tariff should also be continued as a supplement under the NEM successor tariff. NEMA systems should be subject to the same requirements regarding nonbypassable charges and interconnection costs as systems under the standard successor tariff. Many agricultural customers have begun to use the NEMA tariff, which was implemented only two years ago in Res. E-4610. It is important to maintain continuity for NEMA, to allow additional customers, especially but not exclusively agricultural customers, to take advantage of NEMA to install renewable DG for their facilities. NEMA customers, like customers using the VNM tariff, are compensated the same way as all NEM customers; only the aggregation feature is different. Direct Access Customers and Customers of Community Choice Aggregation All the elements of the current treatment of DA and CCA customers should be maintained under the NEM successor tariff. These customers will be able to use the NEM successor tariff on the same terms as IOU customers. As is currently the case, the relevant IOU will credit the customer for the portion of the bill; the customer's electric service provider or CCA will credit the customer for the generation portion of the bill.
