Amendment #11 to S1979

Customer Billing

Mr. Arciero of Westford moves to amend the bill by striking out section 4 and inserting in place thereof the following:-

SECTION 4. Section 139 of said chapter 164, as so appearing, is hereby amended by inserting after subsection (b) the following subsection:-

(b½) (1) If the electricity generated by the solar net metering facility under this subsection during a billing period exceeds the customer’s kilowatt-hour usage during the billing period, the customer shall be billed for 0 kilowatt-hour usage and the monthly net excess kilowatt-hours shall be converted to market net metering credits in order to be credited to the customer’s account. Credits may be carried forward from month to month. A solar net metering facility may designate customers of the same distribution company to which the solar net metering facility is interconnected and that are located in the same ISO-NE load zone to receive such credits in amounts attributed by the solar net metering facility. Written notice of the identities of the customers so designated and the amounts of the credits to be attributed to those customers shall be in such a form as the distribution company shall reasonably require.
