Relating to billing and payments associated with distributed renewable generation.
HB 3904 protects rooftop solar owners in Texas by preventing utilities from unfairly charging or restricting them. It requires electric cooperatives, municipal utilities, and providers to pay for special meters used to track solar energy credits and prohibits them from selling or claiming ownership of these credits without a written agreement and fair payment to the solar owner. The bill also bans discriminatory billing practices against solar users compared to other customers. These changes apply specifically to owners of solar systems generating electricity on their property (like home rooftops), ensuring they receive fair billing and credit treatment.
