Update: The Commission recently proposed amendments to its net metering rules. If adopted, a standard service offer (SSO) customer with a net-metering system would receive a monetary credit for excess electricity put back onto the grid in accordance with the utility’s SSO rate. A CRES provider may offer a net metering contract to its customers; the contract must address the price of any excess electricity production. SSO customers must size their net-metering systems so as not to exceed 120% of anticipated electricity requirements. There is no limit on the size of the net metering system for customers taking generation service from a CRES provider, but the customers must primarily intend to offset all or part of their electricity requirements. Renewable energy credits remain the property of the customers, but this can be altered pursuant to contract. Comments on the proposed rules are due December 18, 2015.
