| Additional Information | Connecticut requires investor-owned utilities to provide net metering to customers that generate electricity using "Class I renewable energy sources," which include solar, wind, landfill gas, fuel cells, sustainable biomass, ocean-thermal power, wave or tidal power, low-emission advanced renewable-energy conversion technologies, or hydropower facilities up to two megawatts (MW) in capacity. Legislation enacted in June 2007 (2007 HB CT 7432) raised the limit on individual system capacity to 2 MW, and extended net metering to all customer classes. These amendments took effect October 1, 2007. Previously, the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) had approved programs designed by the state's investor-owned utilities to allow net metering for renewable-energy sytems up to 100 kilowatts (kW) in capacity. Net-metered customers with systems greater than 10 kW are assessed for the state's competitive transition assessment and the state's systems benefits charge, based on the amount of energy consumed by the customer from the facilities of the utility without netting any electricity produced by the customer. |
