For legislation relative to net metering. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill proposes changes to existing Massachusetts General Laws related to net metering, which is a billing mechanism that allows electricity consumers who generate their own electricity, typically from renewable sources like solar panels, to receive credit for excess electricity they send back to the grid. Specifically, the bill amends Section 139 of Chapter 164 by changing a figure from "4" to "5" in one instance and from "5" to "7" in another, both within subsection (f) of that section. Additionally, it amends subsection (c) of Section 7 of Chapter 251 of the Acts of 2014, extending the date from "March 31, 2015" to "June 1, 2015," likely affecting the implementation or expiration of certain net metering provisions.
