NY A05927

Repeals existing net energy metering sections and establishes new comprehensive rules for solar, wind, fuel cell, farm waste, micro-combined heat and power, and micro-hydroelectric electric generating equipment with capacity limits up to 2,000 kilowatts (25 kilowatts for residential micro-hydroelectric).

Requires electric corporations to provide interconnection and net energy metering for eligible customer-generators at no additional charge beyond standard rates, with metering completed within one month of application.

Allows customers to use net metering credits from solar or farm waste equipment across multiple properties within the same utility service territory and load zone, with credits applied to highest-use meters first.

Establishes pricing for excess electricity generated: solar, wind, and farm waste customers receive credits at retail rates; micro-combined heat and power and fuel cell customers receive credits at the corporation's avoided cost rate.

Prohibits electric corporations from imposing standby charges, demand charges, or interconnection fees on eligible customer-generators, and requires uniform contracts and tariffs identical to non-generating customers in the same service class.
