Description
This is specific to Net Metering dialogues. A nonbypassable energy charge is a volumetric energy rate that a customer pays on every kilowatt-hour of electricity they consume from the grid (i.e., their grid consumption); however, unlike a traditional volumetric energy charge, the charge cannot be offset by receiving credits for DPV. California’s NEM 2.0 features this. It essentially converts NEM into Net Billing but without the public backlash! See Section 4.2.13 of this report and this link for more information.

Research direction
Start by reading Section 4.2.13 of the linked NREL report and the Aurora Solar reference to understand the requested nonbypassable energy charge in NEM 2.0. Then locate the utility rate calculation entry points for net metering; done means grid-consumption charges can be represented without offset from distributed photovoltaic credits.
