In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Seventeen

 

AN ACT relative to community net metering.

 

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

 

1  Limited Electrical Energy Producers Act; Definitions; "Eligible Customer-generator."  Amend RSA 362-A:1-a, II-b to read as follows:

II-b.  "Eligible customer-generator'' or "customer-generator'' means an electric utility customer who owns, operates, or purchases power from an electrical generating facility either powered by renewable energy or which employs a heat led combined heat and power system, with a total peak generating capacity of up to and including one megawatt, or up to 5 megawatts for a municipal electric utility customer, that is located behind a retail meter on the customer's premises, is interconnected and operates in parallel with the electric grid, and is used to offset the customer's own electricity requirements.  Incremental generation added to an existing generation facility, that does not itself qualify for net metering, shall qualify if such incremental generation meets the qualifications of this paragraph and is metered separately from the non qualifying facility.

2  Effective Date.  This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
