The bill titled "An Act to remove the 10 MW net metering cap on each municipality" seeks to amend the existing law regarding net metering for municipalities in Massachusetts. Specifically, it proposes to eliminate the current limit of 10 megawatts (MW) on the generating capacity that municipalities or governmental entities can utilize for net metering purposes.
To implement this change, the bill amends subsection (f) of section 139 of chapter 164 of the General Laws by deleting the phrase that establishes the 10 MW cap. This legislative action aims to provide municipalities with greater flexibility and capacity in generating renewable energy, potentially enhancing their ability to meet energy needs and promote sustainability initiatives.
