Description
Net energy metering. Requires an electric utility that purchases excess electricity generated by an eligible customer-generator under the net energy metering program pay for such electric power at a rate that is at least equal to the retail tariff rate that the customer-generator is charged for the electricity it buys from the utility. The maximum generation capacity for a nonresidential customer-generator is increased from 500 kilowatts to two megawatts. The measure also requires the State Corporation Commission to establish a program that will allow a customer with multiple, separately billed facilities located within a utility's service territory, one or more of which are eligible customer-generators, to aggregate the electricity consumption and generation of its participating facilities.
