Bill Summary

Relative to net metering for low income and other small facilities. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 139 of Chapter 164 of the General Laws to exempt certain Class I net metering facilities from aggregate net metering capacity limits and other requirements. Specifically, it allows a Class I net metering facility that generates renewable energy and has a nameplate capacity of 10 kilowatts or less on a single-phase circuit or 25 kilowatts or less on a 3-phase circuit to net meter and accrue Class I net metering credits, even if it is not owned by a municipality or other governmental entity. This change aims to support the use of small-scale renewable energy generation, particularly for low-income and other small facilities.
