Bill > HB2568

This bill proposes to completely eliminate the existing net metering regulations in West Virginia. Net metering is a billing mechanism that allows energy consumers who generate their own electricity (typically through solar panels or other renewable energy systems) to receive credit for the electricity they add back to the electrical grid. By repealing the section of law related to net metering and interconnection standards, the bill would remove the current framework that enables customers to offset their electricity consumption with their own energy production. This could significantly impact individuals and businesses who have invested in renewable energy systems, potentially making such investments less financially attractive by removing the ability to receive credit for excess energy generated. The bill appears to be a straightforward legislative action to remove an existing statute, which would effectively end the net metering program in West Virginia.
