The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) adopted rules for net metering in September 2004, requiring the state's investor-owned utilities to offer net metering to all electric customers. The rules, which apply to renewable energy resources projects with a maximum capacity of 1 megawatt (MW), include the following provisions: - A utility may limit the aggregate amount of net-metering (nameplate) capacity to 1 percent of its most recent summer peak load. - At least 40 percent of a utility's bet metering capacity must be residential customers. - An interconnection agreement between the utility and the customer must be executed before the facility may be interconnected. - Net-metered systems must comply with Indiana's interconnection standards. - Either a single meter or a dual-meter arrangement may be used. - Utilities may not charge customers any fees for additional metering for single-phase configurations installed by the utility, for customers' requests to net meter, or for an initial net-metering facility inspection. - Net metering customers must maintain homeowners, commercial, or other insurance providing coverage of at least $100,000 against loss arising out of the use of a net metered facility. Utilities may not require additional liability insurance in excess of this limit. - Net excess generation (NEG) is credited to the customer's next monthly bill. The rules do not address the expiration of NEG for continuous customers. (If a customer elects to cease net metering, any unused credit will revert to the utility.) |

| Additional Information | In May 2011, the IURC approved final rules increasing the maximum net metering capacity from 10 kW to 1 MW, and increasing the aggregate capacity limit from 0.1 percent to 1 percent of the most recent summer peak load. All electric customers are now eligible to net meter. In addition, the rulemaking defined "name plate capacity" for inverter-basednet metering facilities to be "the aggregate output rating of all inverters in the facility, measured in kW." |
