Net Metering | 12,600 | 3 | NET METERING RATE SCHEDULE Eligibility for participation in the net metering program is limited to customers taking bundled service (non-interruptible) from WED. The eligible facilities must be installed on the customer’s premises. The maximum size of electric generators eligible for net metering treatment is listed below: Residential Units – 10 kW or under Commercial/Industrial Units – 200 kW or under To qualify for this Schedule, customer’s generation systems will be limited in size, not to exceed the customer’s self-service needs. Non-dispatchable generation systems (e.g., wind and solar) shall be sized not to exceed the customer’s annual energy needs, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Dispatchable systems shall be sized not to exceed the customers capacity needs, measured in kilowatts (kW). If a customer has more than one generator, to qualify for this Schedule, the total capacity of the generators shall be less than the maximum size listed above. Monthly Rate Deliveries from WED to the customer shall be billed in accordance with the standard applicable rate schedules. Customer Credits for Net Excess Generation (NEG) NEG represents the amount of electric generation by the customer beyond the customers own metered usage which is delivered to WED during the billing period. Deliveries from the customer to WED shall be credited at the rates listed below for power supplied to WED. The credit to the customer shall not exceed the dollar amount WED bills the customer for its energy consumption in any billing period. Instead, the net excess dollar amount shall be allowed to accumulate as a NEG credit to offset the customer’s energy charges in the next billing period.

Automated feeder switches | 31 | Reclosers are deployed for automatic fault clearing and restoration. Single-pole tripping/ three-pole lockout will be enabled where feasible. Substation relays have been replaced with IEDs. Reclosers communicate with IEDs via fiber optic network enabling coordinated fault clearing and restoration via a central real-time automation controller (RTAC). Switched capacitor banks are installed to improve feeder voltage profiles. The feeders are 12.47kV mixed residential/commerical/industrial use. Primary objectives are minimization of areas affected by circuit lockout, improved speed of restoration, and improvement of power quality by reduction of fault duration prior to clearing. | $1,082,980 |

* In some circumstances, costs are incurred before devices are installed resulting in a reported cost where the quantity is zero.
* All dollar figures are the total cost, which is the sum of the federal investment and cost share of the recipient (the recipient cost share must be at least 50% of the total overall project cost).
** In some cases the number of entities reporting is greater than the total number of projects funded by the Recovery Act because some projects have multiple sub-projects that report data. View list of sub-projects.
