Section 704.Sec. 15.1 - NEW1. The expanded solar access program rate for all customers participating in the program must be calculated as 30 percent of the weighted average of the rates for new utility-scale solar resources accepted by the Commission in an order pursuant to NRS 704.751 and selected for use in determining the expanded solar access program rate pursuant to subparagraph (1) of paragraph (f) of subsection 2 of NRS 704.7865, as approved by the Commission, and community-based solar resources approved as part of the expanded solar access program plan, plus 70 percent of the base tariff energy rate and deferred energy accounting adjustment, adjusted to remove the expanded solar access program resources. The expanded solar access program rate will replace a participating customer's base tariff energy rate and deferred energy accounting adjustment.2. The Commission will adjust the expanded solar access program rate charged to low-income customers as necessary to guarantee that such customers receive a lower energy rate as required by NRS 704.7865.3. Customers participating in the expanded solar access program shall pay any other applicable charges, including, without limitation, the universal energy charge, franchise fees, the renewable energy program rate and the base tariff general rates, except that the Commission may reduce one or more of these charges for low-income customers to ensure that such customers receive a lower rate as required by NRS 704.7865.4. Any expanded solar access program rate discount, including, without limitation, any low-income customer discount, must be tracked by the electric utility separately in a regulatory asset and recovered from all utility customers, including distribution-only service customers, on a quarterly basis in conjunction with an electric utility's quarterly filing made pursuant to NRS 704.110.5. Expanded solar access program rate revenues paid by participating customers must be applied to the deferred energy accounting balance in the same manner as the base tariff energy rate and the deferred energy accounting adjustment rates.Nev.
