AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC UTILITIES AND CARRIERS -- NET METERING

SB 1121 modifies net metering rules for solar and renewable energy systems by allowing development on "preferred sites" within protected forest areas without triggering standard capacity caps or rate reductions. This specifically exempts projects on these designated sites from the 10-megawatt (MW) system size limit and other restrictions that apply to typical installations. The bill directly affects property owners and developers installing solar/wind systems on preferred sites in core forests, enabling them to bypass certain regulatory limits. It maintains existing net metering policies while creating a streamlined path for renewable projects on these specific locations.
