Summary

Electric utility regulation; agricultural net energy metering. Allows an otherwise eligible agricultural customer-generator to participate in an electric utility's net energy metering program if it is to be served by multiple meters located on one parcel or on multiple parcels. Currently, an agricultural customer-generator may be served by multiple meters that are located at separate but contiguous sites. The measure increases the generation capacity limit for agricultural net energy metering from 500 kilowatts to one megawatt and adds falling water as a type of generating facility that may be used in agricultural net energy metering. The measure also repeals a provision, added in 2017, that ends the ability of new eligible agricultural customer-generators served by electric cooperatives to commence net energy metering on and after July 1, 2019.
