PSC 113.0926(1)(1) A single watthour meter may be used for net energy billing where reverse meter registration is intended to occur during reverse power flow through the meter and where the service is rendered under an authorized net-energy billing tariff.

PSC 113.0926(2)(2) When the meter is operating in the reverse registration mode it shall be accurate within plus or minus 2.0% at 2 unity power factor loads, one equal to 10% and the other 100% of the test ampere rating of the meter. A test to determine compliance with this accuracy requirement shall be made by the utility either before or at the time the customer-owned generator is placed in operation in accordance with utility rules. Subsequent tests for accuracy in the reverse registration mode are required only when requested by the customer and shall be at customer cost.

PSC 113.0926(3)(3) Each utility shall maintain a record of the reverse-registration tests required in sub. (2) but for such tests the utility is not required to comply with ss. PSC 113.0901, 113.0911 and 113.0919 with respect to meter testing or meter records.

PSC 113.1001PSC 113.1001 Purpose. The purpose of subch. X is to establish standards for electric utility service extension rules. These standards shall not apply to the inter-connection of customer-owned generation facilities. The primary objective of these standards shall be to provide for an equitable cost relationship between new customers and existing customers. The determination of an equitable relationship shall consider the effect of the extension rule on the environment, the utility’s revenue requirement and the efficient use of electricity.

PSC 113.1002PSC 113.1002 Principles of facilities development. The utility shall provide safe, reliable service with extensions that conform, to the extent possible, to each of the following standards:

PSC 113.1002(1)(1) Route. The utility shall make the extension over the most direct route which is the least expensive and least environmentally degrading. The customer shall provide or shall be responsible for the cost of all right-of-way easements and permits necessary for the utility to install, maintain, or replace distribution facilities. The customer shall either clear and grade such property or pay the utility to clear and grade such property. The customer is responsible for the cost of restoration of the property after the utility has completed installation and backfilling where applicable.

PSC 113.1002(2)(2) Design. The utility shall design and install facilities to deliver service to the customer and the area at the lowest reasonable cost. The facilities shall comply with accepted engineering and planning practices. The design shall consider reasonable needs for probable growth in the area and local land use planning. Unwarranted excess capacity which would result in unnecessary cost increases to the utility and its customers shall be avoided. The utility shall be responsible for the incremental cost of distribution facilities which are in excess of standard design for the customer and normal area growth.

PSC 113.1002(3)(3) Efficient use. The utility’s extension rules shall discouraged the inefficient use of electricity by appropriately relating costs to the charges made for extensions.

PSC 113.1002(4)(4) Cost estimates. The utility shall engineer and estimate the cost of each extension based on reasonable current costs. Current costs may be estimated using job specific costs, average costs per foot or unit, or other costing method as appropriate.

PSC 113.1003(1)(1) “Contributed extension” means an extension toward which a customer has made a contribution in aid of construction.

PSC 113.1003(2)(2) “Distribution facilities: includes all primary and secondary voltage wire or cable and its supports, trenches, connection equipment and enclosures and control equipment which are used to extend the distribution system from existing facilities to a point of connection with the service facilities. The cost of right-of-way preparation and restoration to the original condition where appropriate shall be included in the cost of distribution facilities.

PSC 113.1003(3)(3) “Embedded cost” means the original cost of the installed utility plant less both the accumulated depreciation of the plant and associated contributions in aid of construction as recorded in the utility’s books.

PSC 113.1003(4)(4) “Embedded cost allowance” means a construction credit given a customer requesting an extension which reflects the average embedded cost of existing facilities.

PSC 113.1003(5)(5) “Excess facilities” means an extension costing more than five times the average embedded cost allowance for a given customer classification.

PSC 113.1003(6)(6) “Extension” means the addition of transmission, distribution, or service facilities to the existing electric service facilities.

PSC 113.1003(7)(7) “Full cost” of an extension includes the cost of removal of existing facilities if present.

PSC 113.1003(8)(8) “Noncontributed extension” means an extension which costs less than the embedded cost allowance: the customer requesting the extension makes no contribution in aid of construction.

PSC 113.1003(9)(9) “Nonstandard route or design” means facilities which meet one or more of the following criteria:

PSC 113.1003(10)(10) “Service drop” means the overhead secondary voltage conductors from the transformer or closest pole or support on the distribution system to the customer’s electric service entrance equipment.
