Tpdf Text

Maine LD257 eliminates net energy billing practices by prohibiting the Public Utilities Commission from requiring utilities to allow participation.

Maine LD257 repeals laws that authorize the Public Utilities Commission to adopt rules governing net energy billing and establish a net energy billing program for commercial and institutional customers. It also repeals tax exemptions for solar energy equipment used in connection with net energy billing customers. The bill defines "net energy billing" as a practice where a customer can receive a bill credit by delivering electricity to the utility from a facility they own or operate.
