SF 92 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Small customer electrical generation.

This bill modifies Wyoming's net metering rules for small-scale renewable energy systems (like rooftop solar). It exempts existing systems (operational before July 1, 2024) from new rules until 2039, while requiring the Public Service Commission to establish a new compensation system for systems installed on or after that date. The new system must prevent rate subsidies where small generators' electricity costs are covered by other customers. Utilities will no longer be obligated to compensate new small generators under the old net metering terms, and the Commission must hold public hearings and adopt rules by April 2024. The bill affects homeowners and businesses with small renewable energy installations who generate excess electricity for the grid.
