This bill amends the net energy billing programs established under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 35-A, sections 3209-A and 3209-B to prohibit customers from having a shared financial interest in distributed generation resources used for the programs. The bill limits the applicability of the net energy billing programs to distributed generation resources that are located on the same side of the meter as the net energy billing customer and are used primarily to serve the electric load of that customer. To participate in the programs, all of the net energy billing credits associated with the output of the distributed
43 generation resource must be allocated to the retail account of that customer. The bill also
44 amends other statutes to reflect the changes made to the net energy billing programs by this
45 bill.
