Regards virtual net metering and meter aggregation

This bill establishes a legal framework for virtual net metering and meter aggregation, allowing customers to purchase electricity generated by specific off-site renewable energy systems. To qualify, these systems must be located on designated sites like brownfields or large commercial rooftops and primarily use solar, wind, or other approved fuels. The legislation mandates that utilities offer these programs under the same rate structures as standard service, ensuring customers receive monetary credits for excess energy sent back to the grid rather than cash payments. Additionally, the bill requires utilities to assist customers in calculating their electricity needs and prohibits them from imposing extra safety tests or insurance requirements on compliant systems.
