Modifies provisions for solar energy systems

HB 846 modifies Missouri's solar energy rules by establishing a new "Net Metering and Easy Connection Act." It requires retail electric suppliers (like municipal utilities and cooperatives) to offer net metering to eligible solar customers (called "customer-generators") on a first-come, first-served basis. The bill sets a cap: suppliers must continue offering net metering until the total solar capacity reaches 15% of their previous year's peak electricity demand. This directly affects residential and commercial solar system owners who generate their own power and utility companies that must implement these rules.
