Recovery of certain fixed costs clarification with respect to net metered facilities

Summary

The bill permits cooperative electric associations and municipal utilities to add a reasonable fixed‑cost fee for qualifying net‑metered facilities under 40 kW, and requires that fee to be based on a cost‑of‑service study that must be made available to customers or the public. It also gives customers the right to request that their meters be aggregated for billing, with the utility required to act within 90 days and to apply any kilowatt‑hour credits in a customer‑specified order. These changes aim to increase transparency and fairness in billing small renewable generators.
