Solar Garden Net Metering Credits Stabilization

Concerning measures to stabilize net metering credits calculated for an electric retail utility's purchase of electric output from a community solar garden.
Session:
2023 Regular Session
Subject:
Energy
Bill Summary

Current law requires an electric retail utility (utility) to offer a net metering credit as the means of purchasing output from a community solar garden (CSG) located within the utility's service territory and establishes the means of calculating the net metering credit. The act maintains that calculation if the CSG indicates to the utility that the CSG's subscribers' bill credits change annually. However, if the CSG indicates to the utility that the CSG's subscribers' bill credits remain fixed, the act provides a different calculation for determining the net metering credit. The public utilities commission shall allow a utility to recover costs incurred in implementing and maintaining the net metering credit billing systems.
