HF 2076: Relating to billing methods for distributed generation customers
Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill relates to the cash out of excess kilowatt-hours to distributed generation customers. Under current law, any excess kilowatt-hours remaining at the end of a 12-month period are cashed out by the electric utility at the electric utility’s avoided cost rate and distributed evenly between the customer and the electric utility’s low-income home energy assistance program. The customer chooses whether the cash out occurs in January or April. The bill changes the cash out process of excess kilowatt-hours for distributed generation customers.
