CT HB05350

Establishes a two-year municipal airport shared solar pilot program requiring the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection to issue a request for proposals by July 1, 2019, targeting subscriber organizations with populations between 128,000 and 135,000.

Defines municipal airport shared solar facilities as Class I renewable energy sources with a maximum capacity of two megawatts located on municipal airports, requiring at least two subscribers within the same electric distribution company service territory.

Allows subscribers to receive monthly bill credits calculated by multiplying allocated kilowatt hours by the municipal airport shared solar facility credit (equivalent to retail cost per kilowatt hour), with unused credits carrying over month to month.

Requires subscriber organizations to comply with consumer protection provisions, not exceed 100 percent of facility output in subscriptions, and prohibits individual subscribers from having subscriptions exceeding their own 12-month energy consumption.

Clarifies that subscriber organizations operating municipal airport shared solar facilities shall not be deemed electric distribution companies or electric suppliers solely due to owning or operating these facilities.
