Net metering amendments.
This bill amends Wyoming's net metering rules to allow electric utilities to authorize customer-generators (like homeowners or businesses with solar/wind systems) to install net metering systems exceeding 25 kilowatts in capacity, which was previously capped. It updates the definition of "net metering system" in state law to remove the 25-kilowatt limit and explicitly permits larger systems under utility authorization. The key change enables customers with bigger renewable energy systems to connect to the grid and receive credit for excess power, expanding access beyond the prior size restriction. The bill takes effect July 1, 2019, without requiring additional legislative action for implementation.
