AI Summary

This bill seeks to amend Section 139 of Chapter 164 of the existing law by removing the aggregate net metering cap for solar net metering facilities, except for a maximum limit of 10 megawatts of generating capacity eligible for net metering by a municipality or other governmental entity. The bill aims to promote the adoption of solar energy systems by allowing more flexible net metering without a restrictive cap, while maintaining a reasonable limit for government entities.
