HB 1645 (2022)
Notify homeowners with solar panels, other energy generators of how they are counted in Renewable Portfolio Standard
Requires the Department of Energy to provide an annual written notice to customer-generators (e.g. homeowners with solar panels) whose production has been credited to providers of electricity.
The notice would read in part, "This notice is to inform you that if you do not take affirmative action to have your system certified to create renewable energy certificates (RECs), your generation will automatically be credited to utilities and other retail sellers of electricity (electricity providers). These electricity providers can then use your generation to help meet their renewable portfolio standard (RPS) obligations. This means that the renewable energy you generate will not add any renewable energy to the grid beyond the minimum amount that electricity providers must procure under state law."
