Bill > SB1208

This bill modifies Missouri's net metering law, known as the "Net Metering and Easy Connection Act", by updating definitions and regulations for customer-generators (individuals or organizations with small-scale renewable energy systems). The bill expands the definition of customer-generators to include various types of organizations and clarifies that their renewable energy systems must be located where the energy is consumed and have a capacity of no more than 100 kilowatts. The legislation requires retail electric suppliers to offer net metering programs, measuring electricity supplied to and generated by customer-generators, and provides options for billing and crediting excess energy generation. The bill also establishes safety and interconnection standards for renewable energy systems, requires detailed disclosure and reporting about net metering, and mandates that sellers of qualified electric energy generation units provide comprehensive information to potential customers, including a five-day evaluation period, detailed proposal requirements, and an energy efficiency audit. Additionally, the bill allows the attorney general to enforce these provisions under the Missouri merchandising practices act and provides protections for both customer-generators and retail electric suppliers regarding liability and system operations.
