The bill S.50 proposes to increase the size of solar net metering projects that qualify for expedited registration. A significant amendment added to the bill allows customers who own net metering systems commissioned between January 1, 2023, and July 1, 2025, to change their decision regarding the ownership of renewable energy credits. Specifically, these customers can transfer the attributes of their net metering systems to the utility by submitting a request to the Public Utility Commission (PUC) by September 2, 2025.

This amendment aims to provide flexibility for customers in managing their renewable energy credits, potentially encouraging more participation in solar energy initiatives. By allowing a one-time transfer of attributes, the bill seeks to streamline the process and enhance the benefits of net metering for both customers and utilities.
