Bill Summary

Relative to solar power equity in low-income and environmental justice communities. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill aims to promote solar power equity in low-income and environmental justice communities. It defines "Community Shared Solar Net Metering Facility" and "Low-Income and Environmental Justice Households," and requires that a portion of solar energy incentives be dedicated to these groups to address barriers to accessing solar energy. The bill also increases the aggregate net metering capacity limits for municipalities and other governmental entities, and provides more favorable net metering credit calculations for low-income solar net metering facilities and community shared solar net metering facilities that allocate a majority of their credits to low-income and environmental justice households.
