Summary

Electric utilities; municipal net energy metering. Updates provisions related to American Electric Power's participation in a municipal net energy metering pilot program and creates similar requirements for a municipal net energy metering pilot program for Dominion Energy Virginia, with a duration of the pilot program for Dominion Energy Virginia until July 1, 2028. The bill directs the State Corporation Commission to review the municipal net energy metering pilot program for Dominion Energy Virginia in 2024 and every two years thereafter. The bill clarifies that the aggregated capacity of generation facilities subject to a net metering pilot program conducted by any utility shall not be considered part of the aggregate net metering cap established pursuant to the Virginia Clean Economy Act. However, the aggregated capacity of generation facilities under each utility's pilot program that is part of a third-party power purchase agreement shall constitute a portion of the existing limit on pilot programs with third-party power purchase agreements.
