HB 1983 Net energy metering program; SCC shall approve a supplier's proposed standby charge methodology.
Introduced by: Terry G. Kilgore | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:
Net energy metering program. Increases the maximum capacity of an electrical generation facility of a residential customer that qualifies for participation in a net energy metering program from 10 to 20 kilowatts. The measure also provides that a customer-generator whose generating facility has a capacity that exceeds 10 kilowatts shall pay a monthly standby charge. A supplier's methodology for assessing a standby charge is required to allow the supplier to recover only the portion of its infrastructure costs that are properly associated with serving the eligible customer-generators. The State Corporation Commission is directed to conduct a proceeding to determine the reasonableness of standby charges.
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Net energy metering program. Increases the maximum capacity of an electrical generation facility of a residential customer that qualifies for participation in a net energy metering program from 10 to 25 kilowatts. The measure also provides that a customer's generation facility is intended primarily to offset all or part of his own electricity requirements, and the customer is thus ineligible to participate in the net energy metering program, if the facility is sized to produce more than 125 percent of the customer's cumulative load over the 12 months preceding the facility's interconnection.
