2007 House Bill 5121

Allow electricity "net metering"

Introduced in the House

Aug. 21, 2007

Introduced by Rep. Paul Opsommer (R-93)

To allow and establish regulations for “net metering” by public electric utilities. “Net metering” applies to a customer who both generates some electricity which is fed back into the power grid, and also buys some power from the utility. The customer would then be billed for the amount of electricity that is purchased, minus the amount that is sold back.

Referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology
