Bill Summary
This bill proposes to freeze the negative adjustor on net metering and eliminate the negative adjustor on behind-the-meter consumption.
AI Summary
This bill proposes changes to how customers are credited for excess electricity generated by their solar systems, a process known as net metering. Specifically, it aims to freeze the "negative adjustor" for net-metered solar production at -$0.04, meaning the credit for excess electricity won't decrease beyond this amount. Additionally, it eliminates any "adjustor" for "behind-the-meter consumption," which refers to electricity generated and used or stored on-site without going through the utility's meter or the grid. These changes are intended to provide more stable and predictable credits for customers with solar installations.
