AZ HB2295

Establishes net-metering requirements for public power entities serving an annual retail load of 300,000 megawatt hours or greater, allowing eligible customer-generators to offset electricity consumption with energy from biomass, solar, or wind facilities.

Credits eligible customer-generators at a one-to-one ratio in kilowatt hours for excess energy production, with credits applied to subsequent billing periods and any remaining credits at year-end either carried forward or compensated at the utility's average hourly incremental cost.

Limits net-metering availability to the first-come, first-served basis up to 5 percent of the utility's most recently measured annual peak load, with generating facilities limited to 125 percent of total connected load and the customer's service entrance capacity.

Requires utilities to provide bidirectional metering equipment at their expense (unless customer uses existing compliant meter), charge identical nondiscriminatory rates to net-metering customers as non-generating customers, and prohibits additional fees except those applied to similarly situated non-customer-generators.

Authorizes utilities to inspect customer-generator facilities for compliance with IEEE 1547 standard and disconnect non-compliant facilities that adversely affect utility or other customer safety and reliability.
