SB 447 (2018)

Summary:

Modifies the procedure for the Public Utilities Commission to estimate and report on the production of customer-sited solar power that is net metered but for which renewable energy certificates are not issued. The Senate amended the bill to remove the requirement that the Public Utilities Commission give utilities renewable energy credit for the production from small customer-sited sources. That means utilities would not be able to use some net metered customer solar panels to meet their Renewable Portfolio Standard requirements. This would increase the demand for renewable energy certificates from other sources, including those net metered customer generators that do have renewable energy certificates.
