HB 2342 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Establishes provisions for community solar gardens

This bill establishes a legal framework for community solar gardens in Missouri, allowing residents who cannot install solar panels on their own roofs to subscribe to shared solar projects. It defines specific terms such as "community solar facility" and "subscriber," and sets size limits for these projects between 100 and 5,000 kilowatts with a minimum of ten subscribers. The legislation requires retail electric suppliers to run a three-year pilot program from 2024 to 2026 to enroll customers and apply bill credits that offset subscribers' monthly electricity costs. Additionally, the bill includes definitions for low-income customers and outlines the roles of entities like subscriber administrators in managing these programs.
