SB 79 (2023)
Add industrial and commercial entities to net metering law
This bill did not become law.
Requires large customer-generators (up to 5 megawatts) participating in net metering to consume at least 20% of the energy they generate. There are exceptions for group net metering hosts and low and moderate income customers.
The Senate rewrote the bill to instead add a definition and requirements for an industrial host as a customer-generator. According to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, "SB 79 permits industrial and commercial entities to qualify as large customer-generators participating in net energy metering. They must consume at least 20 percent of their own generation."
