| Additional Information | State-wide net metering for certain utility types. HB 1203, enacted in July 2007, requires the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) to develop technical and net-metering interconnection rules for customer-generators intending to operate renewable onsite generators in parallel with the electric utility grid. The new regulations will implement the provisions of HB 1203, which expanded net metering in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania's Public Utility Code states that qualifying facilities less than 50kW may opt for net energy billing. On June 22, 2006, the PA PUC adopted revised net metering rules for photovoltaics, solar-thermal energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, biomass energy, fuel cells, combined heat and power, municipal solid waste, waste coal, coal-mine methane, and other forms of distributed generation. |
