Bill Summary

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

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the existing law to increase the net metering cap from 7% to 12% and from 8% to 13%. Net metering is a policy that allows customers with small-scale renewable energy generation, such as solar panels, to receive credits on their utility bills for the excess electricity they generate and send back to the grid. The bill aims to raise these percentage caps, which limit the total amount of net-metered generation that can be supported, in order to facilitate greater adoption of distributed renewable energy systems by customers.
