Increase the generating capacity for customer-generated electricity
This bill amends Montana's energy law to update definitions related to customer-generated electricity and utility transition costs. It directly affects electric utilities, customer generators, and the state Public Service Commission by clarifying terminology for net metering systems, carbon offset providers, and electricity supply resources. The key provision expands the maximum generating capacity for net metering systems from 50 kilowatts to 100 kilowatts, allowing more residential and small business solar and wind installations to connect to the grid. The bill also adds new definitions for terms like "assignee," "fixed transition amounts," and "large customer" to improve clarity in future energy regulations. These changes take effect immediately upon passage.
