This bill, introduced on February 18, 2025, seeks to amend the Code of West Virginia by repealing section 24-2F-8, which pertains to net metering and interconnection standards for public utilities. The primary objective of the legislation is to eliminate the net metering provisions currently in place, which allow consumers who generate their own electricity (such as through solar panels) to receive credits for excess energy they supply back to the grid.

By repealing this section, the bill effectively removes the legal framework that supports net metering, potentially impacting how consumers interact with public utilities regarding energy generation and consumption. The bill is currently referred to the Committee on Energy and Public Works for further consideration.
