SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION:

Net energy metering; sales of net electricity.  Requires the default service provider to enter into an agreement to purchase any excess electricity generated by an eligible customer-generator that is consistent with the minimum requirements for such contracts established by the State Corporation Commission. The measure also makes Old Dominion Power subject to the same net energy metering provisions that apply to other investor-owned electric utilities. Old Dominion Power had been exempt from all provisions of the Electric Utility Restructuring Act.

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

Net energy metering; sales of net electricity.  Requires the default service provider to enter into an agreement to purchase any excess electricity generated by an eligible customer-generator that is consistent with the minimum requirements for such contracts established by the State Corporation Commission.

 

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Net energy metering; sales of net electricity.  Requires the default service provider to enter into an agreement to purchase any excess electricity generated by an eligible customer-generator upon the request of the customer-generator. The agreement shall provide that the default service provider will pay for the excess electricity a rate that is not less than the default service rate for customers in that class. The State Corporation Commission shall ensure that the costs charged to the eligible customer-generator are not discriminatory in relation to the costs charged to other customers of the utility.
