HB 662 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Creates a community solar pilot program

HB 662 creates a three-year community solar pilot program (2026-2028) in Missouri, allowing residents and organizations to subscribe to shared solar facilities. The bill requires electric suppliers to implement the program, enabling subscribers - especially low-income households - to receive bill credits for solar energy generated by facilities (100-5,000 kW) serving at least 10 subscribers. Key provisions include setting a 5% annual target for community solar in suppliers’ electricity sales, mandating bill credit transfers if subscribers move, and requiring the state commission to establish separate bill credit values to ensure low-income subscribers save money. The program directly affects Missouri residents, community solar operators, and electric suppliers, promoting accessible solar energy without regulating subscription prices.
