Massachusetts H3567 amends energy generation payment rules for distribution companies.

Massachusetts H3567 modifies energy generation payment regulations by requiring distribution companies to pay customers for credits carried forward for six months or more. Customers can opt to defer payment. Companies must also pay customers for any outstanding credits within 30 days of account closure. Payments under this bill are not considered credits, rebates, or other renewable energy offsets. The Department of Public Utilities will create regulations for annual payment schedules, payment methods, customer notifications, and deferral processes.
