- Background: Repeals the requirement that a customer pay for the installation of metering equipment to participate in a net metering system. Repeals authorization for a cooperative electric association ("utility") to install additional equipment for net metering. Broadens the utility's authorization to impose a fee, beyond a backup or standby fee, on a net metering system to avoid cost shifting. Changes the threshold at which a utility may refuse to net meter additional customers from 1% of aggregated customer monthly peak demand to 1% of average monthly peak demand. Requires a utility that net meters a customer to give retail credit for electricity generated and consumed by the customer and at least wholesale credit for electricity generated but not consumed. Requires a utility to negotiate the terms of a net metering system that exceeds 25 kilowatts. Requires a customer who generates electricity to indemnify the utility for damage done to the utility's equipment from the net metering system.
