Understanding Export Pricing:

This file contains 20-years of hourly export rates for three sets of SDG&E's Solar Billing Plan vintages (i.e. Net Billing Tariff / NBT), NBT25, NBT26, and NBT00. 
-	NBT25 = Solar Bill Plan Customers with applications filed in 2025 that qualify for 9-year lock-in export rates
-	NBT26 = Solar Billing Plan Customers with applications filed in 2026 that qualify for 9-year lock-in export rates.
-	NBT00 = Solar Billing Plan Customers that do not qualify for any 9-year lock-in export rates.
The dates and times associated with the export rates are presented in UTC time, covering from 1/1/2026 12:00:00am PST, to 12/31/2045 11:59:59pm PST.
Per CPUC Resolution E-5301, SDG&E is required to provide 20-years of export rates. However please note that NBT25 and NBT26 vintage customers are only guaranteed export rates for 9-years from the Permission-To-Operate (PTO) date of your system. Any rate factors in this file beyond the  9-year lock-in period are for illustrative purposes only and are not actual effective SBP Export Rates at those times. For NBT00 customers, only those rates for Pacific Standard Time for the current year are actual effective rates, and all rates after that are for illustrative purposes only.
