An Act To Provide Greater Equity In And Reduce Costs Related To The State'S Net Energy Billing Program

Summary

The bill updates Maine’s net‑energy billing program by requiring participants to have a direct financial stake in the solar or wind system, limiting contract terms, and creating a replacement system for low‑income households when a participant leaves. It also defines rules for projects of different sizes, adds exceptions for small or single‑customer projects, and orders the commission to set compensation rates for owners based outside the state. The goal is to make the program more equitable and keep costs in check.
