Bill Summary

Relative to net metering. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill, concerning net metering, proposes an amendment to Chapter 164 of the General Laws, specifically Section 139, by adding a new provision that allows on-site renewable energy sources to qualify for net metering even if they exceed the established aggregate net metering capacity limits, provided they meet all other qualifications and this determination is secured by December 31, 2016. Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy customers for the electricity they add to the grid, and this bill aims to provide a grace period for certain projects to be grandfathered into the program before reaching its overall capacity limits.
