TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING ENERGY; TO REGULATE NONEXPORT FACILITIES; AND TO PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST NONEXPORT FACILITIES.

House Bill 1892 aimed to regulate "nonexport facilities," which are customer-owned systems generating electricity for personal use without intentionally sending power back to the grid. It sought to prohibit public utilities from charging discriminatory electricity rates to customers operating these facilities. The bill would have also required the Arkansas Public Service Commission to create rules for the safe and reliable operation of nonexport facilities, including standards for managing accidental electricity export and an expedited interconnection review process. Additionally, it clarified that these nonexport facilities would not be considered net-metering facilities.
