LD1317

Amends Maine's net energy billing program to allow the Public Utilities Commission to set tariff rates starting in 2026.

This bill amends Maine's commercial and institutional net energy billing program, starting in 2026, to allow the Public Utilities Commission to establish by rule the tariff rate applicable to all customers in the program, regardless of the size of the distributed generation resource involved in net energy billing. The bill requires the commission to establish the 2026 tariff rate at a rate between 12¢ per kilowatt-hour and the lesser of the tariff rates applicable in 2025.
