In plain language

This Act removes the 8% cap on net energy metering for customer-generated power.

The Act eliminates the existing 8% limit on net energy metering. This means that customers generating their own energy can be compensated for all of it, potentially supporting more renewable energy use.

What this means for you
  • Consumers: Consumers generating their own electricity can now receive credits for all excess energy they produce, making renewable energy investments more appealing.

Summary

This Act removes the 8% cap on net energy metering for customer-generation.
