An Act To Prevent Consumer-Generated Electricity From Being Used By Anyone Other Than That Consumer

LD 801 ensures that residential customers who generate their own electricity (e.g., through solar panels) can keep all unused credits from net energy billing arrangements indefinitely, without expiration. It also prohibits utilities from charging fees for these unused credits. The bill directly affects Maine homeowners with solar energy systems participating in net energy billing programs. This change prevents customers from losing accumulated credits they earned by generating excess electricity.
