Solar Billing Plan
The Solar Billing plan is Central Coast Community Energy’s version of the Net Billing Tariff. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) decided that the Net Billing Tariff would succeed NEM 1.0 and NEM 2.0 in December 2022.
All customers who submitted an interconnection after April 15, 2023 will be on the Solar Billing Plan. Other legacy NEM accounts will move over after their grandfathering period ends.

When will 3CE know how the Solar Billing Plan will be structured?
- 3CE’s boards will be reviewing the Solar Billing Plan in February 2024
- 3CE’ Solar Billing Plan will likely be implemented in June of 2024
Will 3CE’s Solar Billing Plan Mirror the IOUs?
- CCAs have their own jurisdictional authority over rate setting procedures.
- For this reason, 3CE’s Solar Billing Plan may or may not mirror that of the investor-owned utility.
What is NEM 1.0’s grandfather period?
- Customers on NEM 1.0 have 20 years from the time their interconnection agreement was approved to remain on NEM 1.0.
- Once your grandfather period on NEM 1.0 ends, your account will move directly to the Solar Billing Plan (once it is available).
What is NEM 2.0’s grandfather period?
- Customers on NEM 2.0 have 20 years from the time their interconnection agreement was approved to be on NEM 2.0.
- Once your grandfather period on NEM 2.0 ends, your account will move directly to the Solar Billing Plan (once it is available).
- Accounts who have already moved from NEM 1.0 to NEM 2.0 will transition to the Solar Billing Plan once the rate tariff is available. A new grandfathering period did not begin for these accounts.
