Amendment to SB 232
Amend the bill by replacing all after section 2 with the following:
3 Net Energy Metering. Amend RSA 362-A:9, III to read as follows:
III. Metering shall be done in accordance with normal metering practices. A single net meter that shows the customer's net energy usage by measuring both the inflow and outflow of electricity internally shall be the extent of metering that is required at facilities with a total peak generating capacity of not more than 100 kilowatts. A [bi-directional] bidirectional metering system that records the total amount of electricity that flows in each direction from the customer premises, either instantaneously or over intervals of an hour or less, shall be required at facilities with a total peak generating capacity of more than 100 kilowatts. The bidirectional system may consist of one or more meters, as long as it can be used to appropriately meter and bill in compliance with utility tariffs and rules. Customer-generators shall not be required to pay for the installation of net meters, but shall pay for the installation of, or procure at their own cost if approved by the interconnecting utility, all [bi-directional] bidirectional metering systems as outlined in utility interconnection tariffs or rules.
4 Effective Date. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
