Bill > S2169

This bill amends various sections of Chapter 164 of the General Laws to support solar distribution. The key provisions are: 1. A Class I net metering facility that generates renewable energy is exempt from certain requirements and can net meter and accrue Class I net metering credits. 2. The Department of Energy Resources can adopt regulations allowing retail suppliers to discharge their renewable energy obligations through alternative compliance payments, and the department must set on-site generation alternative compliance payment rates to stimulate the development of new on-site renewable energy generating sources. 3. The bill adds a definition for "Energy Storage net metering facility" and includes it in the list of eligible net metering facilities. 4. It modifies the definitions of Class I, Class II, and Class III net metering credits to include the time-differentiated value for energy storage net metering facilities, where the credit is based on the difference between the time the energy was stored and when it was exported.
