1 New Section; Inadvertent Enrollment Restoration for Customer-Generators. Amend RSA 362-A by inserting after section 9 the following new section:
362-A:9-a Inadvertent Enrollment; Restoration and Compensation for Customer-Generators.
I. In this section:
(a) "Customer-generator" means a customer-generator as defined in RSA 362-A:1-a, II-b.
(b) "Inadvertent enrollment" means an enrollment of a customer-generator in a third-party electricity supply program, including participation through community choice aggregation under RSA 53-E, without the customer-generator's explicit consent or due to inaccurate utility data.
(c) "Default service" means the standard electricity supply service provided by the electric utility under RSA 374-F.
II. Upon written notification by a customer-generator or an authorized representative regarding inadvertent enrollment, the electric utility shall:
(a) Investigate the customer-generator's enrollment status within 10 business days; and
(b) If inadvertent enrollment is confirmed, restore the customer-generator to default service within 5 business days of confirmation.
III. For any period up to 6 months prior to the date of restoration to default service, the electric utility shall retroactively apply net metering credits for exported kilowatt-hours not credited because of the inadvertent enrollment. Retroactive compensation shall be calculated using the net metering tariff in effect for the customer-generator during the period of disruption and applied as a bill credit or refund at the utility's discretion.
IV. The public utilities commission may adopt rules, pursuant to RSA 541-A, as necessary to implement this section.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
