Various net metering governing provisions modifications

This bill modifies Minnesota's net metering rules for small-scale renewable energy systems. It directly affects residential and small business customers with solar panels or similar installations under 40 kilowatts (kW) capacity. Key changes include allowing these customers to choose compensation based on the utility's average retail energy rate (instead of avoided costs) for excess power sent back to the grid, and clarifying definitions like "aggregated meter" for multi-property systems. The bill ensures utilities can recover fixed costs through reasonable fees while maintaining non-discriminatory billing practices for small generators.
