Requires separate pilot programs for residential and business customers. Provides that an electric utility that has conducted a net electrical energy metering pilot program for either its residential or business customers, or both, that was initiated before the effective date of this amendatory Act need only file a report of the results of the program with the Illinois Commerce Commission.

Requires the Commission to provide a summary and an analysis of the reports to the General Assembly by September 1, 2008. Amends the Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, and Coal Resources Development Law of 1997. Provides that a utility may deduct an amount from collected receipts for expenses incurred to develop, maintain, and administer its net electricity metering pilot program. Extends the scheduled repeal date for the Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, and Coal Resources Development Law of 1997 from December 16, 2007 to December 31, 2008. Effective immediately.
