S 2173 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to net metering

This bill amends Massachusetts law to remove the aggregate cap on net metering for private solar facilities. It specifically establishes a 10-megawatt limit on net metering only for municipalities and other governmental entities. The change allows private individuals and businesses to continue generating and selling excess solar power back to the grid without a total system-wide restriction.
