Bill > HB0367

This bill enacts new provisions for solar power customers by establishing an "optional time-of-use export pricing tariff," which is a pricing plan approved by the commission (the Public Service Commission) that offers different rates for excess electricity a customer sends back to the utility. This tariff can use either "seasonal time-of-use pricing," where credit rates are set for defined periods like seasons, or "real-time pricing," where the credit rate reflects the value of electricity at the exact hour it's sent back. The bill mandates that utilities with net metering programs must offer this new tariff, but customers can voluntarily choose to participate or not, and they can switch between tariff options. Utilities must clearly explain the differences, rates, and the ability to return to previous plans before a customer enrolls, and customers must be allowed to switch back. The new tariff must be compatible with existing metering equipment and can include provisions for battery storage, with the commission required to establish the tariff within one year of the bill's effective date of May 6, 2026, without altering existing customer rights or the commission's authority to set rates.
