Description
Distributed renewable energy. Promotes the establishment of distributed renewable solar and other renewable energy. The measure (i) increases from one percent to six percent the systemwide cap on the total amount of renewable energy that can be net metered in a utility's service territory, (ii) authorizes third-party power purchase agreements for all customers of investor-owned utilities, (iii) removes the restriction on customers installing a net-metered generation facility larger than that required to meet their previous 12 months' demand, (iv) raises the cap for net-metered nonresidential generation facilities from one megawatt to three megawatts, and (v) removes the ability of a Phase I Utility to assess standby charges. The measure also amends the Commonwealth Energy Policy to include provisions supporting distributed generation of renewable energy. Read the Bill »
