Establishes provisions for community solar gardens

HB 1322 establishes a framework for community solar gardens in the state, allowing multiple subscribers to share electricity generated from a single solar facility. The bill requires retail electric suppliers to run a three-year pilot program (2026-2028) aiming for 2% of their annual electricity sales to come from community solar subscriptions, with specific rules for facility size (100-5,000 kW), minimum subscribers (10), and bill credits that offset subscribers’ electricity costs. It mandates that low-income subscribers receive additional bill credits to ensure savings, allows subscription portability if subscribers move within the same utility area, and defines key terms like "community solar facility" and "subscriber administrator." The bill also specifies that retail suppliers must process monthly bill credits based on facility output and standardized reporting.
