METHODOLOGY:
This bill provides that when a municipal host offsets the group load of a municipal or county aggregation, rather than individual customer accounts, then it shall be considered a customer of the municipal or county aggregation and compensated for its output.
The Department of Energy indicates this bill would have an indeterminable fiscal impact on state, county, and local revenues. If the state, a county, or local unit of government engages in net metering as a municipal host and is in a community served by a municipal or county aggregator, and such a municipal host is used to offset the load of the municipal or county aggregator, the compensation rates will be made by the municipal or county aggregator. To the extent that a municipal host meets these requirements, the total compensation to the municipal host may increase or decrease. The final compensation design done by the municipal or county aggregator would determine any revenue impact and the magnitude of the impact. If the state, a county, or local unit of government engages in net metering as a municipal host and is not in a community served by a municipal or county aggregator, there would be no revenue impact.
Regarding state, county and local expenditures, the Department indicates there would be no fiscal impact. The bill only impacts the compensation of the group host for its exports of electricity to the grid. It has no impact on the tariff paid by group members of the arrangements for the electricity they consume, including for members that may be the state, counties, or local units of government. Neither statute nor rule have any prohibitions on group hosts and group members having different suppliers for the electricity portion of their bill. The Department indicates there be no impact on state expenditures for the Department to implement this bill.
The Public Utilities Commission states would have no fiscal impact on the Commission. The Commission has no information regarding any potential fiscal impact at the county or local level.
