SB 449 (2026)

Revise net metering laws in line with PUC rules, allow energy storage

This bill is still active.

Last updated 2026-03-15 6:37 pm
Summary:

Requires large customer-generators (from 100 kilowatts to 5 megawatts) participating in net energy metering to consume at least 33% of their own generation.

The Senate rewrote the bill. The new bill requires electric distribution utilities to offer alternative net metering tariffs to eligible customer-generators in line with the Public Utility Commission's net metering rules. The amended bill also authorizes energy storage alongside net metering.
