EFFECT: Requires an electric utility to provide a monetary credit or other compensatory mechanism to a community solar garden subscriber's monthly electric bill at a rate established in the community solar gardens chapter of the utility's distributed energy resources plan. Removes the requirement that the monetary credit be provided for not less than 25 years from the date the community solar garden becomes interconnected and energized. Makes the purchase of all unsubscribed electricity from a community solar garden by an electric utility voluntary rather than mandatory. Replaces references to "community solar garden plan" with "distributed energy resources plan." Requires the submission of a plan in order to operate a community solar garden program by January 1, 2021, rather than by January 1, 2019. States that a distributed energy resources plan should accomplish the objectives for distributed energy resources planning established under Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1233 or, if not enacted, the goals recommended in the Utilities and Transportation Commission's 2017 distributed energy resources planning report.
