This bill amends the Limited Electrical Energy Producers Act to enhance the participation of small customer-generators in group net metering. It allows group hosts, who are customer-generators, to form groups with any customer, including other customer-generators. The bill specifically inserts provisions that require the public utilities commission to adopt rules ensuring that small customer-generators can be members of a group for net metering. Additionally, it mandates that any agency issuing rules affecting group net metering must also ensure the inclusion of small customer-generators.

The bill defines "small customer-generator" as a customer-generator with a maximum generating capacity of not more than 100 kilowatts alternating current. It also outlines the responsibilities of the group host, including providing a list of group members to the commission and the electric distribution utility, and certifying that all members have agreed to the utilization of kilowatt hours produced by the facility. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
