Howard Moffett", "committee": "Science, Technology and Energy", "vote_yeas": 12, "vote_nays": 8, "text": "This bill, as amended, is a comprehensive compromise on clean energy legislation that would bring New Hampshire's energy economy into the 21st century. The broad framework of the bill is a bipartisan proposal, to increase the size limit on netmetered generating projects from 1 MW to 5 MW, which in March 2019 (as HB 365) won the support of a majority of the House. Within that bipartisan framework the committee has now added, in their entirety, two of three clean energy bills (HB 1402 and HB 1262) embraced by the Governor on January 7 of this year, which he noted \"would expand access to net metering, open new opportunities for clean energy development, and allow towns to better control their electric bills.\" The third bill (HB 1481), which was not approved by the committee, would have involved the legislature in rate setting, which should be more properly left to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), by cutting in half the net-metering rate for \"large customer-generators\" (the default energy service rate) set by the PUC in DE 16-576 on the basis of settlement agreements supported by all utility companies participating in the docket, as well as clean energy advocates. But the committee bill goes even farther toward compromise. In section 7, it includes important safeguards suggested in HB 1481, namely, that the PUC must (1) continuously monitor the effect on retail rates of an increase in the size limit for large customer-generators, in order to prevent cost-shifting or any other adverse effect on retail rates; (2) report annually to the legislature as to whether it finds evidence of cost increases or cost-shifting resulting from increased penetration levels of \"distributed energy resources\" or any other factors deemed relevant by the PUC; and (3) promptly initiate new proceedings to adjust the net-metering rate if it finds any significant evidence of such cost increases or cost-shifting. In short, this bill offers not just municipalities but also New Hampshire businesses the opportunity to use their own home-grown renewable power to lower energy costs by using zero-cost fuel and avoiding unnecessary transmission charges, while protecting our environment by promoting a shift to small-scale, clean distributed energy resources."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep. Michael Vose", "committee": "Science, Technology and Energy", "text": "As filed, this bill included provisions duplicating the contents of SB 159 passed in January of 2020 and subsequently vetoed by the Governor. As with many earlier net-metering bills, it seeks to raise the current ceiling on payments made to customers who create surplus electricity and want to export it to the grid. Statute currently sets this limit at 1 megawatt and the bill would raise it to 5 megawatts. The bill further seeks to set the payment, actually a credit, for this power to the same price that a utility announces it will charge for default electric service to customers who do not want to buy power from a third-party supplier. The amendment adopted by the committee adds several new components, some of which were copied from other bills that were filed with support from the Governor's Office of Strategic Initiatives (OSI). The minority supports standalone versions of the bills that attracted the interest and support of the Governor as a path forward to a sensible clean energy policy. While the aforementioned additions do make some modest reforms to the original bill, they do not address the major problem with this bill and all the net metering legislation offered over the past few sessions, namely, setting the price for net metering credits too high. Numerous rationales have been offered to justify this price (the so-called default service rate), but the actual value of the electricity that a net-metered customer puts back on the grid cannot be worth more than the power that comes from any other generator. Think of it this way - the raw cut of meat that a skilled chef transforms into a scrumptious repast delivered to your table cannot have the same value as the chef's masterly creation. The same can be said of the reliable and dependable power that awaits the flick of a switch at your home. That finished product is worth more than the raw electricity from which it was derived because the power requires conditioning and the supplier incurs risks in making sure it is always available. One of the bills supported by the Governor's OSI set the price for net-metered electricity to a price more in line with its actual worth. Net metering engenders a great of deal of interest from municipal officials. They find, as agreed by one town manager that testified on this bill, that taxpayers \"want solar energy, but don't want to pay for it.\" Net metering at a rate such as the one provided by this bill offers a way to entice taxpayers to agree to the costs of such systems. But doing so transfers local taxpayer liability to utility ratepayers who end up paying the difference between the cost of a finished product and its raw electricity component."}], "source": "House Calendar 7, 2020", "date": "2020-02-19", "dated": "signed", "cite": "HC 7", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2020%5CNo%2007%20February%2014%202020.pdf"}, {"bill": "HB1218", "title": "(New Title) relative to net energy metering limits for customer generators and the purchase of output of limited electrical energy producers", "majority_recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "minority_recommendation": "INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE", "reports": [{"side": "Majority", "author": "Rep.

HB 1218 offers the potential of significantly expanding in-state production of clean energy.

This peak load capacity comes at a premium price and is a key factor in our high cost of electricity.

Amend the bill by replacing all after the enacting clause with the following: 1 Findings. The general court finds that: I. New Hampshire's electricity consumers, including municipalities, manufacturers, commercial businesses, and other large users, strongly support more competitive retail options to lower their energy costs. II. These same consumers deserve the freedom to invest their own capital to become more self-sufficient and energy independent and less reliant on out-of-state electricity companies that control our high electricity rates. III. ISO-New England, Inc., the independent, nonprofit regional transmission organization that oversees the operation of New England's bulk electric power system and transmission lines, has stated that infrastructure constraints could pose a challenge to the reliable operation of the regional power grid, create price increases and volatility, and contribute to increased air emissions, all of which would adversely impact New Hampshire's citizens, businesses, and economy. IV. Under its delegated general authority to set electric rates, and specific direction by the Legislature in HB 1116 (2016 NH Laws Chapter 31) to develop new alternative net metering tariffs for customer-generators up to one megawatt, the public utilities commission opened DE 16-576, conducted over a year of proceedings, and issued its Order No. 26,029 on June 23, 2017. In that order, the Commission approved settlement agreements from two coalitions of parties to the proceeding, a utility and consumer coalition (UCC) and a coalition of distributed generation (DG) advocates and environmental organizations (EFC), and approved 10 provisions common to both the UCC and EFC settlement agreements. Common element (f) provided: \"Large customer-generators to receive export credits based only on the utility default service energy charge.\" V. Mindful of concerns about potential cost-shifting, the commission said at pp. 68-69 of Order 26,029: \"With respect to the avoidance of unjust and unreasonable cost-shifting, based on the evidence presented in this proceeding and the current, relatively low DG penetration levels in the state, we find that there is little to no evidence of any significant cost-shifting. Nevertheless, we agree with the parties and believe it is prudent to adopt new net metering tariff provisions to mitigate the potential for future cost-shifting....We will continue to monitor potential cost-shifting and other customer rate impacts of net metering over the next several years, and review the issue once again in conjunction with development of future net metering tariff and rate designs. The new net metering tariff makes no changes to the rates charged to customers without DG systems.\" VI. The current size limit of one megawatt on customer-generators that may participate in net energy metering is an unnecessary barrier that denies larger electricity users the same rights that smaller users already have to produce and use local renewable power that reduces their energy costs, increases supply, and insulates all New Hampshire ratepayers from electric price volatility and higher transmission costs. VII. The current size limit is also a barrier to significant investment in existing and new small renewable energy projects, which would help keep our energy dollars in-state, drive economic activity, support good-paying jobs, and increase state and local business and property tax revenues. VIII. The federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 calls upon states to consider the adoption and implementation of net metering policies. PURPA as amended states that electricity generated by an eligible on-site generating facility may be used to offset electric energy provided by the electric utility and allows states to define an eligible facility. Furthermore, under ISO New England's rules, a generating facility of less than 5 megawatts that is connected to the distribution grid is not required to register with ISO New England as a generator or participate in the wholesale energy markets; rather, if the generating facility elects not to register as a wholesale market participant or retires from such status, the customer generator is to be treated by ISO New England as a retail load reducer. IX. It is therefore also in the best interests of all citizens of New Hampshire that the size limit on customer-generators that may participate in net energy metering and serve as retail load reducers be increased from one megawatt to up to but not including 5 megawatts to increase customer supply choice, foster a more robust retail market for local renewable energy, help mitigate the cost of electric service in the state, reduce the price volatility of that service, and reduce the potential for disruptions in electricity supply due to inadequate wholesale generating capacity in the New England marketplace. 2 Definition; Customer-generator. Amend RSA 362-A:1-a, II-b to read as follows: II-b. \"Eligible customer-generator'' or \"customer-generator'' means an electric utility customer who owns, operates, or purchases power from an electrical generating facility either powered by renewable energy or which employs a heat led combined heat and power system, with a [total peak generating] nameplate or maximum rated capacity of [up to and including one megawatt,]: (a) up to and including 3 megawatts upon the effective date of this paragraph, and (b) less than 5 megawatts on and after January 1, 2022; and that is located behind a retail meter on the customer's premises, is interconnected and operates in parallel with the electric grid, and is used to offset the customer's own electricity requirements in the first instance, and except as provided for a municipal host. Incremental generation added to an existing generation facility, that does not itself qualify for net metering, shall qualify if such incremental generation meets the qualifications of this paragraph and is metered separately from the nonqualifying facility. 3 Definition; Municipal Host. Amend RSA 362-A:1-a, II-c and II-d to read as follows: II-c. \"Municipal host\" means a customer generator with a total peak generating capacity of greater than one megawatt used to offset the electricity requirements of a group consisting of one or more customers who are political subdivisions, provided that all customers are located within the same utility franchise service territory. A municipal host shall be located in the same municipality as all group members if the facility began operation after January 1, 2020. A municipal host may be owned by either a public or private entity. For this definition, \"political subdivision\" means any city, town, county, school district, chartered public school, village district, school administrative unit, or any district or entity created for a special purpose administered or funded by any of the above-named governmental units. II-d. \"Eligible fuel\" means natural gas, propane, wood pellets, hydrogen, or heating oil when combusted with a burner, including air emission standards for the device using the approved fuel. [II-d] II-e. \"Heat led\" means that the combined heat and power system is operated in a manner to satisfy the heat usage needs of the customer-generator. 4 Net Energy Metering; Net Effects. Amend RSA 362-A:9, VII to read as follows: VII.(a) A distribution utility may perform an annual calculation to determine the net effect this section had on its default service and distribution revenues and expenses in the prior calendar year. The method of performing the calculation and applying the results, as well as a reconciliation mechanism to collect or credit any such net effects with appropriate carrying charges and credits applied, shall be determined by the commission. (b) For the purposes of accounting for any exports to the distribution grid by customer-generators, such exports shall be treated as reductions to the customer-generator's electricity supplier's wholesale load obligation for energy supply as a load serving entity, net of any applicable line loss adjustments as approved by the commission. (c) A generator that first becomes operational on or after July 1, 2020 shall only be eligible to participate in net metering as a customer-generator if it does not register as a generator with ISO New England, is not considered a \"Network Resource\" or \"Asset\" by ISO New England, and does not participate in any other sale of electricity in interstate commerce. (d) A generator that first became operational before July 1, 2020 and that has outstanding capacity commitments in the forward capacity market administered by ISO New England, is registered as a generator with ISO New England, or is considered a \"Network Resource\" or \"Asset\" by ISO New England, may elect to become a customer-generator and participate in net metering upon retirement from all wholesale electric markets administered by ISO New England. A generator in the process of retiring from FERC regulated electric markets may prospectively register as a group host pursuant to paragraph XIV provided that net metering tariffs under this section shall not be effective until such retirement is effective. (e) Any provisions of settlement agreements or orders that have been approved or issued by the commission that relate to a distribution utility's treatment of the output from qualifying facilities or independent power producers shall not apply to the output from an eligible customer-generator participating in net metering. 5 New Paragraph; Net Energy Metering; Hydroelectric Generation; Exception. Amend RSA 362-A:9 by inserting after paragraph XI the following new paragraph: XI-a. A hydroelectric generator with a nameplate or maximum rated capacity of less than 5 megawatts that first became operational before July 1, 2020 and shares equipment or facilities with another generator or electric utility customer for interconnection to the electric grid shall be eligible to participate in net metering as a customer-generator even if the aggregate capacity of the generators sharing equipment or facilities for interconnection to the electric grid exceeds 5 megawatts. Such customer generator shall be eligible to participate in net metering as a customer-generator in a manner consistent with all other customer-generators of the same nameplate or maximum rated capacity. 6 Net Energy Metering; Transition of Tariffs. Amend RSA 362-A:9, XV to read as follows: XV. Standard tariffs that are available to eligible customer-generators under this section shall terminate on December 31, 2040 and such customer-generators shall transition to tariffs that are in effect at that time. Alternative tariffs shall be applicable and have such grandfathering provisions as may be approved or adopted by the commission under this section. Customer-generators with a nameplate or maximum rated capacity of more than one megawatt and less than 5 megawatts that are eligible for net metering before the commission adopts tariffs specifically for customer-generators with a generating capacity of more than one megawatt shall: (a) Be eligible to receive the export credit rate approved by the commission in Order No. 26,029 (DE 16-576) for one megawatt sized customer-generators on default service, namely, the applicable default energy service rate. (b) Be grandfathered by the terms of currently applicable tariffs for customer-generators with a total peak generating capacity of one megawatt if the customer-generator's electrical generating facility first becomes operational on or after July 1, 2020. (c) Transition to such new tariffs as are specifically approved by the commission for customer-generators with a nameplate or maximum rated capacity of more than one megawatt if the customer-generator's electrical generating facility first became operational before July 1, 2020. New Paragraphs; Net Energy Metering; Limitation; Annual Report. Amend RSA 362-A:9 by inserting after paragraph XIX the following new paragraphs: XX. For the purpose of this section, a customer-generator with a nameplate or maximum rated capacity in excess of 100 kilowatts, and which first becomes operational on or after July 1, 2020 shall be eligible for net energy metering only if at least 50 percent of the actual or estimated annual electricity generation from its facility is consumed behind-the-meter, unless it has registered as a group host under paragraph XIV. XXI. The commission shall continuously monitor the effect on retail electric rates of an increase in the capacity limit for large eligible customer-generators above one megawatt, based on increases in the penetration level of distributed energy resources, the results of ongoing studies of the impact of distributed energy resources, and any other factors deemed relevant by the commission. The commission shall annually report to the legislature, on or before October 1 of each year, on whether it finds any evidence of cost increases in the energy component of retail rates or any significant cost-shifting resulting from an increase in said capacity limit. If the commission finds evidence of any such cost increases or significant cost-shifting, it shall promptly conduct such further proceedings under DE 16-576, or such new docket as it may deem appropriate, to consider whether any adjustment in the credit given to large eligible customer-generators above one megawatt may be warranted. 8 Utility Property Tax; Exclusion From Definition of Utility Property. Amend RSA 83-F:1, V(d) to read as follows: (d) The electrical generation, production, storage, and supply equipment of an \"eligible customer-generator\" as defined in RSA 362-A:1-a, II-b, and of a \"limited producer\" as defined in RSA 362-A:1-a, III if selling under RSA 362-A:2-a, for facilities with a rated electricity production capacity of up to and including one megawatt; 9 Definition; Limited Electrical Energy Producers; Limited Producer. Amend RSA 362-A:1-a, III to read as follows: III. \"Limited producer\" or \"limited electrical energy producer\" means a qualifying small power producer, a qualifying storage system, or a qualifying cogenerator, with a total generating or discharge maximum rated capacity of [not more] less than 5 megawatts, that does not participate in net metering and that is not registered as a generator, asset, or network resource with ISO New England and thus does not participate in any Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) jurisdictional wholesale electricity markets, including by retirement from such markets. 10 New Paragraph; Definition; Qualifying Storage System. Amend RSA 362-A:1-a by inserting after paragraph IX the following new paragraph: IX-a. \"Qualifying storage system\" means an electric energy storage system as defined in RSA 72:84. 11 Limited Electrical Energy Producers Act; Purchase of Output by Private Sector. RSA 362-A:2-a is repealed and reenacted to read as follows: 362-A:2-a Purchase of Output by Private Sector. I. A limited producer of electrical energy may sell its produced electrical energy to one or more pur-chasers other than the franchise electric utility. Such purchaser may be any electricity supplier or retail electricity consumer located in New Hampshire. The commission shall establish procedures to authorize limited producers to sell electricity at retail, either directly or indirectly through an electricity supplier, within a single electric distribution utility franchise area. The limited producer shall receive credit for actual avoided transmission charges based on measurement of exports to the distribution grid at the retail meter point without additional credit for avoided line and transformation losses between the wholesale and retail meter points to provide a sharing of the benefits of reduced transmission charges from such retail sales with other ratepayers who do not participate in such sales. The limited producer shall be equipped with a revenue grade interval meter that can accurately measure exports to the distribution grid at hours of coincident peak. II. Direct retail sales of electricity across the distribution grid shall be facilitated and accounted for by competitive electricity suppliers registered with the commission under RSA 374-F:7 or by load serving municipal or county aggregators under RSA 53-E. The commission shall establish such procedures, requirements, and conditions concerning retail sales of electricity pursuant to this section as it deems necessary to avoid substantial risk or uncompensated costs to the electric utility in whose franchise area the sales take place. III. Purchases of power from limited producers shall pay for the delivery of such power through tariffs, charges, and rates that are generally applicable to the customer's rate class, with the exception of default energy service if not applicable. IV. Public utilities that distribute electricity under the jurisdiction of the commission shall not report the production of electricity from behind or across retail electricity meters by limited producers to transmission utilities subject to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) jurisdiction for load reconstitution purposes. Instead, such electricity production on the distribution grid shall be treated as load reduction behind the wholesale meter point for purposes of ISO New England wholesale energy markets and transmission services. 12 Effective Date.

The general court finds that:\n\nI. New Hampshire\u2019s electricity consumers, including municipalities, manufacturers, commercial businesses, and other large users, strongly support more competitive retail options to lower their energy costs.\n\nII. These same consumers deserve the freedom to invest their own capital to become more self-sufficient and energy independent and less reliant on out-of-state electricity companies that control our high electricity rates.\n\nIII. ISO-New England, Inc., the independent, nonprofit regional transmission organization that oversees the operation of New England's bulk electric power system and transmission lines, has stated that infrastructure constraints could pose a challenge to the reliable operation of the regional power grid, create price increases and volatility, and contribute to increased air emissions, all of which would adversely impact New Hampshire's citizens, businesses, and economy.\n\nIV. Under its delegated general authority to set electric rates, and specific direction by the Legislature in HB 1116 (2016 NH Laws Chapter 31) to develop new alternative net metering tariffs for customer-generators up to one megawatt, the public utilities commission opened DE 16-576, conducted over a year of proceedings, and issued its Order No. 26,029 on June 23, 2017. In that order, the Commission approved settlement agreements from two coalitions of parties to the proceeding, a utility and consumer coalition (UCC) and a coalition of distributed generation (DG) advocates and environmental organizations (EFC), and approved 10 provisions common to both the UCC and EFC settlement agreements. Common element (f) provided: \u201cLarge customer-generators to receive export credits based only on the utility default service energy charge.\u201d\n\nV. Mindful of concerns about potential cost-shifting, the commission said at pp. 68-69 of Order 26,029: \u201cWith respect to the avoidance of unjust and unreasonable cost-shifting, based on the evidence presented in this proceeding and the current, relatively low DG penetration levels in the state, we find that there is little to no evidence of any significant cost-shifting. Nevertheless, we agree with the parties and believe it is prudent to adopt new net metering tariff provisions to mitigate the potential for future cost-shifting\u2026.We will continue to monitor potential cost-shifting and other customer rate impacts of net metering over the next several years, and review the issue once again in conjunction with development of future net metering tariff and rate designs. The new net metering tariff makes no changes to the rates charged to customers without DG systems.\u201d\n\nVI. The current size limit of one megawatt on customer-generators that may participate in net energy metering is an unnecessary barrier that denies larger electricity users the same rights that smaller users already have to produce and use local renewable power that reduces their energy costs, increases supply, and insulates all New Hampshire ratepayers from electric price volatility and higher transmission costs.\n\nVII. The current size limit is also a barrier to significant investment in existing and new small renewable energy projects, which would help keep our energy dollars in-state, drive economic activity, support good-paying jobs, and increase state and local business and property tax revenues.\n\nVIII. The federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 calls upon states to consider the adoption and implementation of net metering policies. PURPA as amended states that electricity generated by an eligible on-site generating facility may be used to offset electric energy provided by the electric utility and allows states to define an eligible facility. Furthermore, under ISO New England\u2019s rules, a generating facility of less than 5 megawatts that is connected to the distribution grid is not required to register with ISO New England as a generator or participate in the wholesale energy markets; rather, if the generating facility elects not to register as a wholesale market participant or retires from such status, the customer generator is to be treated by ISO New England as a retail load reducer.\n\nIX. It is therefore also in the best interests of all citizens of New Hampshire that the size limit on customer-generators that may participate in net energy metering and serve as retail load reducers be increased from one megawatt to up to but not including 5 megawatts to increase customer supply choice, foster a more robust retail market for local renewable energy, help mitigate the cost of electric service in the state, reduce the price volatility of that service, and reduce the potential for disruptions in electricity supply due to inadequate wholesale generating capacity in the New England marketplace.\n\n2 Definition; Customer-generator. Amend RSA 362-A:1-a, II-b to read as follows:\n\nII-b. \"Eligible customer-generator'' or \"customer-generator'' means an electric utility customer who owns, operates, or purchases power from an electrical generating facility either powered by renewable energy or which employs a heat led combined heat and power system, with a [ total peak generating] nameplate or maximum rated capacity of [ up to and including one megawatt,]: (a) up to and including 3 megawatts upon the effective date of this paragraph, and (b) less than 5 megawatts on and after January 1, 2022; and that is located behind a retail meter on the customer's premises, is interconnected and operates in parallel with the electric grid, and is used to offset the customer's own electricity requirements in the first instance, and except as provided for a municipal host. Incremental generation added to an existing generation facility, that does not itself qualify for net metering, shall qualify if such incremental generation meets the qualifications of this paragraph and is metered separately from the nonqualifying facility.\n\n3 Definition; Municipal Host. Amend RSA 362-A:1-a, II-c and II-d to read as follows:\n\nII-c. \"Municipal host\" means a customer generator with a total peak generating capacity of greater than one megawatt used to offset the electricity requirements of a group consisting of one or more customers who are political subdivisions, provided that all customers are located within the same utility franchise service territory. A municipal host shall be located in the same municipality as all group members if the facility began operation after January 1, 2020. A municipal host may be owned by either a public or private entity. For this definition, \"political subdivision\" means any city, town, county, school district, chartered public school, village district, school administrative unit, or any district or entity created for a special purpose administered or funded by any of the above-named governmental units.\n\nII-d. \"Eligible fuel\" means natural gas, propane, wood pellets, hydrogen, or heating oil when combusted with a burner, including air emission standards for the device using the approved fuel.\n\n[ II-d] II-e. \"Heat led\" means that the combined heat and power system is operated in a manner to satisfy the heat usage needs of the customer-generator.\n\n4 Net Energy Metering; Net Effects. Amend RSA 362-A:9, VII to read as follows:\n\nVII. (a) A distribution utility may perform an annual calculation to determine the net effect this section had on its default service and distribution revenues and expenses in the prior calendar year. The method of performing the calculation and applying the results, as well as a reconciliation mechanism to collect or credit any such net effects with appropriate carrying charges and credits applied, shall be determined by the commission.\n\n(b) For the purposes of accounting for any exports to the distribution grid by customer-generators, such exports shall be treated as reductions to the customer-generator\u2019s electricity supplier\u2019s wholesale load obligation for energy supply as a load serving entity, net of any applicable line loss adjustments as approved by the commission.\n\n(c) A generator that first becomes operational on or after July 1, 2020 shall only be eligible to participate in net metering as a customer-generator if it does not register as a generator with ISO New England, is not considered a \u201cNetwork Resource\u201d or \u201cAsset\u201d by ISO New England, and does not participate in any other sale of electricity in interstate commerce.\n\n(d) A generator that first became operational before July 1, 2020 and that has outstanding capacity commitments in the forward capacity market administered by ISO New England, is registered as a generator with ISO New England, or is considered a \u201cNetwork Resource\u201d or \u201cAsset\u201d by ISO New England, may elect to become a customer-generator and participate in net metering upon retirement from all wholesale electric markets administered by ISO New England. A generator in the process of retiring from FERC regulated electric markets may prospectively register as a group host pursuant to paragraph XIV provided that net metering tariffs under this section shall not be effective until such retirement is effective.\n\n(e) Any provisions of settlement agreements or orders that have been approved or issued by the commission that relate to a distribution utility\u2019s treatment of the output from qualifying facilities or independent power producers shall not apply to the output from an eligible customer-generator participating in net metering.\n\n5 New Paragraph; Net Energy Metering; Hydroelectric Generation; Exception. Amend RSA 362-A:9 by inserting after paragraph XI the following new paragraph:\n\nXI-a. A hydroelectric generator with a nameplate or maximum rated capacity of less than 5 megawatts that first became operational before July 1, 2020 and shares equipment or facilities with another generator or electric utility customer for interconnection to the electric grid shall be eligible to participate in net metering as a customer-generator even if the aggregate capacity of the generators sharing equipment or facilities for interconnection to the electric grid exceeds 5 megawatts. Such customer generator shall be eligible to participate in net metering as a customer-generator in a manner consistent with all other customer-generators of the same nameplate or maximum rated capacity.\n\n6 Net Energy Metering; Transition of Tariffs. Amend RSA 362-A:9, XV to read as follows:\n\nXV. Standard tariffs that are available to eligible customer-generators under this section shall terminate on December 31, 2040 and such customer-generators shall transition to tariffs that are in effect at that time. Alternative tariffs shall be applicable and have such grandfathering provisions as may be approved or adopted by the commission under this section. Customer-generators with a nameplate or maximum rated capacity of more than one megawatt and less than 5 megawatts that are eligible for net metering before the commission adopts tariffs specifically for customer-generators with a generating capacity of more than one megawatt shall:\n\n(a) Be eligible to receive the export credit rate approved by the commission in Order No. 26,029 (DE 16-576) for one megawatt sized customer-generators on default service, namely, the applicable default energy service rate.\n\n(b) Be grandfathered by the terms of currently applicable tariffs for customer-generators with a total peak generating capacity of one megawatt if the customer-generator\u2019s electrical generating facility first becomes operational on or after July 1, 2020.\n\n(c) Transition to such new tariffs as are specifically approved by the commission for customer-generators with a nameplate or maximum rated capacity of more than one megawatt if the customer-generator\u2019s electrical generating facility first became operational before July 1, 2020.\n\n7 New Paragraphs; Net Energy Metering; Limitation; Annual Report. Amend RSA 362-A:9 by inserting after paragraph XIX the following new paragraphs:\n\nXX. For the purpose of this section, a customer-generator with a nameplate or maximum rated capacity in excess of 100 kilowatts, and which first becomes operational on or after July 1, 2020 shall be eligible for net energy metering only if at least 50 percent of the actual or estimated annual electricity generation from its facility is consumed behind-the-meter, unless it has registered as a group host under paragraph XIV.\n\nXXI. The commission shall continuously monitor the effect on retail electric rates of an increase in the capacity limit for large eligible customer-generators above one megawatt, based on increases in the penetration level of distributed energy resources, the results of ongoing studies of the impact of distributed energy resources, and any other factors deemed relevant by the commission. The commission shall annually report to the legislature, on or before October 1 of each year, on whether it finds any evidence of cost increases in the energy component of retail rates or any significant cost-shifting resulting from an increase in said capacity limit. If the commission finds evidence of any such cost increases or significant cost-shifting, it shall promptly conduct such further proceedings under DE 16-576, or such new docket as it may deem appropriate, to consider whether any adjustment in the credit given to large eligible customer-generators above one megawatt may be warranted.\n\n8 Utility Property Tax; Exclusion From Definition of Utility Property. Amend RSA 83-F:1, V(d) to read as follows:\n\n(d) The electrical generation, production, storage, and supply equipment of an \"eligible customer-generator\" as defined in RSA 362-A:1-a, II-b, and of a \u201climited producer\u201d as defined in RSA 362-A:1-a, III if selling under RSA 362-A:2-a, for facilities with a rated electricity production capacity of up to and including one megawatt;\n\n9 Definition; Limited Electrical Energy Producers; Limited Producer. Amend RSA 362-A:1-a, III to read as follows:\n\nIII. \"Limited producer\" or \"limited electrical energy producer\" means a qualifying small power producer, a qualifying storage system, or a qualifying cogenerator, with a total generating or discharge maximum rated capacity of [ not more] less than 5 megawatts, that does not participate in net metering and that is not registered as a generator, asset, or network resource with ISO New England and thus does not participate in any Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) jurisdictional wholesale electricity markets, including by retirement from such markets.\n\n10 New Paragraph; Definition; Qualifying Storage System. Amend RSA 362-A:1-a by inserting after paragraph IX the following new paragraph:\n\nIX-a. \"Qualifying storage system\u201d means an electric energy storage system as defined in RSA 72:84.\n\n11 Limited Electrical Energy Producers Act; Purchase of Output by Private Sector. RSA 362-A:2-a is repealed and reenacted to read as follows:\n\n362-A:2-a Purchase of Output by Private Sector.\n\nI. A limited producer of electrical energy may sell its produced electrical energy to one or more purchasers other than the franchise electric utility. Such purchaser may be any electricity supplier or retail electricity consumer located in New Hampshire. The commission shall establish procedures to authorize limited producers to sell electricity at retail, either directly or indirectly through an electricity supplier, within a single electric distribution utility franchise area. The limited producer shall receive credit for actual avoided transmission charges based on measurement of exports to the distribution grid at the retail meter point without additional credit for avoided line and transformation losses between the wholesale and retail meter points to provide a sharing of the benefits of reduced transmission charges from such retail sales with other ratepayers who do not participate in such sales. The limited producer shall be equipped with a revenue grade interval meter that can accurately measure exports to the distribution grid at hours of coincident peak.\n\nII. Direct retail sales of electricity across the distribution grid shall be facilitated and accounted for by competitive electricity suppliers registered with the commission under RSA 374-F:7 or by load serving municipal or county aggregators under RSA 53-E. The commission shall establish such procedures, requirements, and conditions concerning retail sales of electricity pursuant to this section as it deems necessary to avoid substantial risk or uncompensated costs to the electric utility in whose franchise area the sales take place.\n\nIII. Purchases of power from limited producers shall pay for the delivery of such power through tariffs, charges, and rates that are generally applicable to the customer\u2019s rate class, with the exception of default energy service if not applicable.\n\nIV. Public utilities that distribute electricity under the jurisdiction of the commission shall not report the production of electricity from behind or across retail electricity meters by limited producers to transmission utilities subject to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) jurisdiction for load reconstitution purposes. Instead, such electricity production on the distribution grid shall be treated as load reduction behind the wholesale meter point for purposes of ISO New England wholesale energy markets and transmission services.\n\n12 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.\n\nLBAO\n\n20-2388\n\n10/24/19\n\nHB 1218-FN- FISCAL NOTE\n\nAS INTRODUCED\n\nAN ACT relative to net energy metering and limits for customer generators.\n\nSTATE:\n\nFY 2020\n\nFY 2021\n\nFY 2022\n\nFY 2023\n\nAppropriation\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\n$0\n\nRevenue\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nExpenditures\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nFunding Source:\n\n[ X ] General [ ] Education [ X ] Highway [ X ] Other - Various Governmental Funds\n\nCOUNTY:\n\nRevenue\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nExpenditures\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nLOCAL:\n\nRevenue\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nExpenditures\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nMETHODOLOGY:\n\nThe Public Utility Commission (PUC) indicates this bill would change the definition of \"eligible customer-generator\" or \"customer-generator\" and increase net metering eligibility from the current 1 MW capacity level up to, but less than 5 MW so long as the capacity is located behind the retail meter on the customer's site, is interconnected and operates in parallel with the electric grid, and is used to offset the customer's own load, in the first instance. The bill would impose accounting treatment upon exports of energy to the distribution grid by customer generators, and make provisions of settlement agreements and orders of the commission relating to a distribution utility's treatment of the output from qualifying facilities or independent power producers inapplicable to the output from eligible customer generators participating in net metering. The bill determines the net metering credit to be paid to newly eligible customer generators and provides certain grandfathering rights. Lastly, the bill clarifies that a state utility property tax exemption for customer generators up to and including 1 MW in size will remain in place and that newly eligible facilities will not receive the exemption.\n\nThere are currently 25 existing projects in New Hampshire with nameplate capacity values between 1 MW and 5 MW that could be eligible to net meter under the bill once they no longer have a capacity commitment with ISO-NE or are no longer a registered generator with ISO-NE. Retiring from the wholesale markets normally takes several years so the effect from the current eligible-generators does not factor into the time frame of this fiscal note though those existing eligible generators would likely avail themselves of this opportunity in the future.\n\nThe exports to the grid from these existing facilities as well as new \"eligible customer-generators\" are to be treated as \"reductions to the customer-generator's electric supplier's wholesale load obligation for energy supply as a load serving entity, net of any applicable line loss adjustments as approved by the commission.\" The net effects on default service and distribution revenues and costs of increasing the eligibility of net metering under this bill may be conducted annually by the distribution utility and the net effects may be credited or collected by the utility in a manner determined by the commission.\n\nThe effect of such exports is difficult to determine and will depend upon how many new facilities are built in the next few years. The PUC does not know how many new eligible facilities will be built, but expects this bill would result in the development of new projects, especially at municipal sites. The overall effect also will depend on whether and to what extent a default service provider will factor any additional risk of this change into their default service bids. The PUC has no information from default service providers upon which to project the potential cost effect of that risk. The PUC states, based on the uncertainty associated with the bill's impact on market behavior, the effect on electric rates and therefore on state, county and local government expenditures is indeterminate.\n\nAGENCIES CONTACTED:\n\nPublic Utilities Commission", "in_text": [], "chars": 22806}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 362-A:1-a": "/laws/362-a#s1-a", "RSA 362-A:9": "/laws/362-a#s9", "RSA 83-F:1": "/laws/83-f#s1", "RSA 362-A:2-a": "/laws/362-a#s2-a", "RSA 72:84": "/laws/72#s84", "RSA 374-F:7": "/laws/374-f#s7", "RSA 53-E": "/laws/53-e"}, "amends": {"RSA 362-A:1-a": "/laws/362-a#s1-a", "RSA 362-A:9": "/laws/362-a#s9", "RSA 83-F:1": "/laws/83-f#s1", "RSA 362-A:2-a": "/laws/362-a#s2-a"}, "related": [{"g": 0, "o": "2019-2020/HB365", "n": "HB 365", "t": "relative to net energy metering limits for customer generators.", "y": 2019, "c": "Died", "s": "Amendment 2019-1554s to {b} carries language this bill has; the Senate adopted it."}, {"g": 0, "o": "2019-2020/HB365", "n": "HB 365", "t": "relative to net energy metering limits for customer generators.", "y": 2019, "c": "Died", "s": "Amendment 2019-1487s to {b} carries language this bill has; the Senate rejected it."}, {"g": 0, "o": "2019-2020/SB159", "n": "SB 159", "t": "relative to net energy metering limits for customer-generators.", "y": 2020, "c": "Died", "s": "Amendment 2019-1174s to {b} carries language this bill has; the Senate adopted it."}, {"g": 0, "o": "2019-2020/SB13", "n": "SB 13", "t": "relative to limited electrical energy producers and net energy metering.", "y": 2020, "c": "Died", "s": "Amendment 2019-2873s to {b} carries language this bill has; the Senate adopted it."}, {"g": 0, "o": "2021-2022/HB315", "n": "HB 315", "t": "relative to the aggregation of electric customers and municipal host customer generators serving political subdivisions.", "y": 2021, "c": "Became Law", "s": "Amendment 2021-1400s to {b}, offered later, carries language this bill had; the Senate adopted it."}, {"g": 0, "o": "2019-2020/SB159", "n": "SB 159", "t": "relative to net energy metering limits for customer-generators.", "y": 2020, "c": "Died", "s": "Amendment 2019-2844h to {b} carries language this bill has; the House adopted it, 227-128."}, {"g": 1, "o": "2021-2022/HB167", "n": "HB 167-FN", "t": "relative to net energy metering limits for customer generators and the purchase of output of limited electrical energy producers.", "y": 2022, "c": "Died", "s": "Filed again as {b}, with the same text."}, {"g": 1, "o": "2023-2024/HB523", "n": "HB 523-FN", "t": "relative to net energy metering limits for individual and business customers.", "y": 2023, "c": "Died", "s": "Part of its text was filed again as {b}."}, {"g": 1, "o": "2021-2022/HB1596", "n": "HB 1596-FN", "t": "relative to net energy metering limits for individual and business customers.", "y": 2022, "c": "Died", "s": "Part of its text was filed again as {b}."}, {"g": 2, "o": "2019-2020/SB13", "n": "SB 13", "t": "relative to limited electrical energy producers and net energy metering.", "y": 2020, "c": "Died", "s": "It contains the text of {b}, a shorter bill."}, {"g": 2, "o": "2019-2020/SB159", "n": "SB 159", "t": "relative to net energy metering limits for customer-generators.", "y": 2020, "c": "Died", "s": "It contains the text of {b}, a shorter bill."}, {"g": 2, "o": "2019-2020/HB365", "n": "HB 365", "t": "relative to net energy metering limits for customer generators.", "y": 2019, "c": "Died", "s": "It contains the text of {b}, a shorter bill."}]}
