Abstract

Eliminates the following deadlines concerning net metering: (1) July 1, 2022, the latest date that a net metering tariff must be available to an electricity supplier's customers. (2) July 1, 2032, the latest date that customers who began participating in net metering after December 31, 2017, must be served under a net metering tariff. (3) July 1, 2047, the latest date that customers who were participating in net metering on December 31, 2017, must be served under a net metering tariff. Requires the utility regulatory commission to amend rules to: (1) provide that the net metering facility nameplate capacity that an electric utility makes available for customers' participation in net metering must be at least 1.5% of the electric utility's most recent summer peak load; and (2) require that at least 40% of the net metering facility nameplate capacity made available for customers participating in net metering must be reserved for participation by residential customers. Eliminates the requirement that 15% must be reserved for participation by customers that install net metering facilities using organic waste biomass.
