Bill overview
This bill seeks to remove net metering policies in West Virginia. Net metering allows homeowners with solar panels to receive credit on their electricity bills for the excess power they send back to the grid. By repealing the existing net metering regulations, this bill would significantly alter how renewable energy generation is compensated in the state. This change would likely impact the adoption of residential solar power.
Key provisions
- Repeals §24-2F-8, which pertains to net metering and interconnection standards.
- Eliminates the current system of compensating homeowners for excess solar energy.
- Specifically targets net metering arrangements with public utilities.
Who is affected
- Homeowners with solar panels
- Solar energy companies
- West Virginia Public Utilities Commission
