clarifying certain net metering terms and conditions.
SB 232 clarifies net metering rules for renewable energy generators participating in ISO-NE electricity markets. It allows these generators (such as solar or wind producers) to remain active in energy, capacity, and ancillary services markets without having to withdraw from them to qualify for net metering. Instead, they must transfer all market revenues - earned from selling energy, capacity, or services - to their local utility while maintaining net metering eligibility. The law takes effect August 1, 2025, directly impacting small renewable energy producers who operate within ISO-NE markets.
