AI Summary
- Effective January 1, 2024, excess energy credits from customer-owned or leased renewable generation delivered to the grid are reduced on a phased schedule: credited at 75% for applications approved in 2024–2025, 60% for 2026, and 50% for 2027–2028
- Customers with net metering applications approved before January 1, 2029, are grandfathered for 20 years under the net metering rate design and rates in effect at the time of their approval, including subsequent property purchasers or lessees
- Public utilities may petition the commission for approval of fixed charges—such as base facilities charges, grid access fees, and monthly minimum bills—to recover fixed costs of serving renewable generation customers and prevent subsidization by the general ratepayer body; the commission must issue a final order within 180 days
- The commission must adopt new rules effective January 1, 2029, requiring renewable generation customers to pay full cost of electric service and be credited at the utility's full avoided cost rather than retail rate; rulemaking must also be initiated if a utility's renewable generation penetration rate is expected to exceed 6.5% within 12 months
- Public utilities may recover lost revenues through fuel and purchased power cost recovery charges resulting from unanticipated surges in residential rooftop solar installations between July 1, 2022, and December 31, 2023, with petitions allowed only between December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2024
