HB 1140-S - DIGEST
(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

Declares that "meter aggregation" means the administrative combination of readings from and billing for all meters, regardless of the rate class, on premises owned or leased by a customer-generator located within the service territory of a single electric utility.

Provides that, if a production meter and software is required by the electric utility to provide meter aggregation under RCW 80.60.030(4), the customer-generator is responsible for the purchase of the production meter and software.

Provides that, if a customer-generator requests, an electric utility shall provide meter aggregation.

Provides that: (1) For customer-generators participating in meter aggregation, kilowatt-hours credits earned by a net metering system during the billing period first shall be used to offset electricity supplied by the electric utility.

(2) Not more than a total of one hundred kilowatts shall be aggregated among all customer-generators participating in a generating facility under this act.

(3) Excess kilowatt-hours credits earned by the net metering system, during the same billing period, shall be credited equally by the electric utility to remaining meters located on all premises of a customer-generator at the designated rate of each meter.

(4) Meters so aggregated shall not change rate classes due to meter aggregation under this act.
