2.12    "Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 216B.164, is amended by adding a
2.13subdivision to read:
2.14    Subd. 4b. Aggregation of meters. (a) For the purpose of measuring electricity
2.15under subdivisions 3 and 4a, a utility must aggregate for billing purposes a customer's
2.16designated meter with one or more aggregated meters if a customer requests that it do so.
2.17Any aggregation of meters must conform with the requirements of this section.
2.18(b) A customer-generator must give at least 60 days' notice to the utility prior to a
2.19request that additional meters be included in meter aggregation. The specific meters must
2.20be identified at the time of the request. In the event that more than one meter is identified,
2.21the customer must designate the rank order for the aggregated meters to which the net
2.22metered credits are to be applied. At least 60 days prior to the beginning of the next annual
2.23billing period, a customer may amend the rank order of the aggregated meters, subject to
2.24the same requirements of this subdivision.
2.25(c) The aggregation of meters applies only to charges that use kilowatt-hours as the
2.26billing determinant. All other charges applicable to each meter account shall be billed to
2.27the customer.
2.28(d) The utility will first apply the kilowatt-hour credit to the charges for the
2.29designated meter and then to the charges for the aggregated meters in the rank order
2.30specified by the customer. If the net metered facility supplies more electricity to the utility
2.31than the energy usage recorded by the customer-generator's designated and aggregated
2.32meters during a monthly billing period, the utility shall apply credits to the customer's next
2.33monthly bill for the excess kilowatt-hours.
2.34(e) With the commission's prior approval, a utility may charge the customer-generator
2.35requesting to aggregate meters a reasonable fee to cover the administrative costs incurred in
3.1implementing the costs of this subdivision, pursuant to a tariff approved by the commission
3.2for a public utility or governing body for a municipal electric utility or electric cooperative.
