Community Solar Energy Generating Systems - Subscription Eligibility

SB 1022 (Community Solar Energy Generating Systems - Subscription Eligibility) removes a requirement that low- and moderate-income (LMI) subscribers must reside in the same electric service territory as a community solar system to participate. The bill authorizes LMI households to subscribe to systems located in different service territories while ensuring they receive identical bill credit value as local subscribers. It mandates the Public Service Commission to create a process for exchanging solar bill credits between systems in separate territories. This change directly affects LMI households seeking affordable access to community solar energy across jurisdictional boundaries.
