Minnesota SF1975 modifies net metering provisions, affecting compensation rates for small-scale renewable energy facilities.

Minnesota SF1975 amends net metering provisions to adjust compensation rates for small-scale renewable energy facilities. It specifies that customers with facilities under 40 kilowatts can be compensated at the average retail utility energy rate. Facilities under 1,000 kilowatts can also elect compensation at the average retail rate. The bill also mandates that any additional charges by utilities must be reasonable and based on the most recent cost of service study. These changes apply to both cooperative electric associations and municipal utilities.
