Summary

Net energy metering program. Increases the maximum capacity of an electrical generation facility of a residential customer that qualifies for participation in a net energy metering program from 10 to 20 kilowatts. The measure also provides that a customer-generator whose generating facility has a capacity that exceeds 10 kilowatts shall pay a monthly standby charge. A supplier's methodology for assessing a standby charge is required to allow the supplier to recover only the portion of its infrastructure costs that are properly associated with serving the eligible customer-generators. The State Corporation Commission is directed to conduct a proceeding to determine the reasonableness of standby charges.
