Bill H.599 proposes to amend the existing net metering regulations in Vermont, specifically regarding the modifications to net metering systems. The bill allows for changes to be made to a net metering system without requiring an updated certificate of public good, provided that these modifications do not increase the system's capacity beyond 25 kW. This change aims to streamline the process for small-scale renewable energy producers, making it easier for them to adapt their systems without the burden of additional regulatory requirements.

The bill includes specific legal language that clarifies when an amendment to a certificate of public good is necessary. It states that such an amendment is only required if the modifications result in an increase of the system's total capacity to more than 25 kW. Additionally, the bill establishes an effective date of July 1, 2026, for these changes to take effect.
