Bill Summary

For legislation relative to net metering. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 139 of Chapter 164 to remove the aggregate net metering cap for solar net metering facilities, except that the maximum amount of generating capacity eligible for net metering by a municipality or other governmental entity shall be 10 megawatts. This change aims to promote the expansion of solar power generation and net metering, which allows customers to receive credit for the excess electricity they generate and feed back into the grid.
