Signed by Governor Ayotte 07/10/2026; Chapter 309; eff. I. Secs 1.4.7.8 eff prov sec 9 II. Rem eff 1/1/2027
Summary
The bill lets customers with renewable generators up to 1 MW add battery storage that is charged only by that renewable source without losing net‑metering eligibility. It gives the Department of Energy authority to write rules for installing and using the storage, and permits the Public Utilities Commission to decide how utilities must pay for energy exported from those batteries. The change is intended to promote more renewable use and clarify compensation.
