This bill amends the Limited Electrical Energy Producers Act to provide a mechanism for customer-generators who have been inadvertently enrolled in a municipal or county aggregation program to revert to their electric distribution utility's default energy service. Specifically, it allows these customer-generators to request re-enrollment if their enrollment was made in error or without their consent. The bill mandates that upon receiving such a request, the electric distribution utility must investigate the enrollment status within 20 business days and, if the inadvertent enrollment is confirmed, restore the customer to default service by the next billing cycle.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the utility must retroactively apply net metering credits for exported kilowatt-hours for up to four monthly billing cycles prior to the re-enrollment date, based on the applicable net metering tariff during the period of inadvertent dis-enrollment. It also clarifies that any credits for energy exported more than four months prior to the notification will not be recoverable. The costs associated with these retroactive credits will be recoverable from all customers, consistent with the utility's net metering expenses. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
