Draft Text

SB239 amends Delaware's net metering regulations for public utilities, affecting both residential and nonresidential customers.

SB239 amends Title 26 of the Delaware Code to revise net metering regulations for public utilities. It mandates that net metering be accomplished using a single meter, with additional meters allowed only for system performance information. Nonresidential customers must cover the cost of new or modified meters, while residential customers are capped at $200. The bill also stipulates that electric suppliers must provide net-metered customers with nondiscriminatory rates and prohibits stand-by fees for these customers.
