Yes, there have been recent changes to net metering policies in several states across the U.S. Here are some examples:
- Delaware: The Public Service Commission approved changes to net metering regulations, including increasing the system size limit for farms.
- California: California significantly altered its net metering policy with the introduction of Net Energy Metering 3 (NEM 3), which reduced the value of net metering. The state is considering further revisions to its virtual net metering program.
- Nevada: Utilities filed tariffs to transition from monthly netting to 15-minute netting for systems under 25 kW.
- Arizona: The Corporation Commission is reviewing the limit on annual changes to the avoided cost proxy credit rate. Arizona initially switched to net billing in 2016 and may further reduce compensation rates.
- Idaho: Idaho Power shifted from net metering to net billing, reducing solar export compensation by about 32%.
- West Virginia: Monongahela Power and Potomac Edison transitioned to net billing, setting compensation for excess generation at the wholesale power cost.
- Illinois: Illinois will transition away from net metering in 2025, with grandfathering for systems installed before January 1, 2025.
These changes reflect a broader trend across the U.S., with many states reassessing their net metering policies to incorporate new billing structures or reduce compensation for solar exports.
