A 815 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to ensuring net metering is a compensation floor for residential producers of energy

This bill (A 815) requires utilities to pay residential solar energy producers at least the rate provided by net energy metering. It amends New York's public service law to ensure customer-generators (homeowners with rooftop solar systems) never receive less compensation than what net energy metering would provide. The law prevents utilities from lowering payments below net metering rates during industry restructuring. This directly affects homeowners who generate their own electricity through solar panels.
