AI Summary

  • Removes the 100 kilowatt capacity limit on customer-generator electrical generating systems, allowing systems of any size to qualify for net metering
  • Changes how excess energy is credited: net excess energy must be carried forward month-to-month at a one-to-one ratio against future consumption, replacing the previous avoided fuel cost credit system
  • Accumulated net excess energy expires without compensation at the end of the March billing period of a twelve-month cycle, or when the customer discontinues service or terminates net metering
  • Adds new definition of "minimum bill" to include all non-kilowatt-hour charges (service charges, customer charges, meter charges, facilities charges, demand charges, late fees, and taxes) that customer-generators must still pay even when generation exceeds consumption
  • Generation system capacity limit changed from offsetting "part or all" of a customer's energy requirements to "not exceeding one hundred percent" of their requirements
