Solar farms; allow local communities to join resources for.

SB 2785, the "Mississippi Community Solar Act of 2026," would have created a state program allowing Mississippi residents to subscribe to shared solar projects. It required electric utilities to provide bill credits based on solar energy generated, accept interconnection applications for community solar facilities, and establish standardized agreements. The bill specifically prohibited credit checks or upfront fees for subscriptions and limited bill credits to 90% of a subscriber’s annual electricity cost. It directly affected residential customers, community solar organizations, and electric utilities across Mississippi. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
