Summary

The bill lengthens the period that towns and cities can receive net‑metering payments for their distributed energy systems, guaranteeing at least 20 years of compensation. It applies to municipal groups that use the Public Utilities Commission’s alternative tariffs and lets them switch to new tariffs while keeping the 20‑year term. The change aims to make municipal renewable projects financially viable despite earlier interconnection delays.
