IN HB1094

IURC must adopt emergency rules by July 1, 2011 to amend net metering rules for investor-owned electric utilities, requiring net metering availability to all customer classes with renewable energy generating facilities.

Establishes maximum nameplate capacity limits for each customer class and requires non-residential customers (except K-12 schools) with systems 10 kW or less to pay all interconnection costs.

For customers with 10-200 kW facilities, provides billing credits for excess electricity generated and delivered to the utility, with unused credits reverting to the utility after 12 months or when customer stops participating.

Prohibits meter aggregation and exempts existing net metering agreements from the new rules; emergency rules expire January 1, 2013 or when permanently adopted, whichever is earlier.

IURC must report to the regulatory flexibility committee by July 1, 2016 and every five years thereafter on the impact of technological advances on net metering rules.
