Bill Summary

Relative to solar net metering credits for publicly-assisted housing or its residents and exempting low-income ratepayers from monthly minimum reliability contributions. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill aims to expand access to solar net metering credits for publicly-assisted housing and its residents, as well as exempt low-income ratepayers from monthly minimum reliability contributions. Specifically, it amends the definition of "market net metering credit" to include publicly-assisted housing or its residents, and the definition of "net metering facility of a municipality or other governmental entity" to include publicly-assisted housing or its residents. Additionally, the bill allows solar net metering facility owners to direct the distribution company to purchase all or a portion of net metering credits, and exempts solar net metering facilities of municipalities or other governmental entities that assign 100% of their output to publicly-assisted housing or its residents from the aggregate net metering capacity. Finally, the bill requires the department to exempt publicly-assisted housing and low-income ratepayers from any monthly minimum reliability contribution.
