HB 3019 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes provisions for community solar gardens

HB 3019 establishes rules for community solar gardens, allowing multiple subscribers to share electricity generated from solar facilities. It directly affects retail electric suppliers (who must run a 2027-2029 pilot program requiring 2% of annual sales to be covered by subscriptions), community solar operators, and subscribers - including low-income households. Key provisions include defining community solar facilities (100-5,000 kW, 10+ subscribers), requiring bill credits for subscribers based on solar output, and mandating special bill credit values to ensure low-income customers save money. The bill also requires suppliers to process credits, allow subscription transfers, and report usage data in standardized formats.
