Net Metering Protection Act

This bill concerns net metering, a federal standard under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 that lets electric customers who produce their own power get credit for electricity they send back to the grid. If a State utility regulator or a nonregulated electric utility decides to put this standard in place, the bill would bar any commission, board, or other entity created by Congress from blocking or obstructing that decision or its enforcement. This rule would apply notwithstanding any other provision of law. The bill uses existing definitions from the 1978 law for the terms "State regulatory authority" and "nonregulated electric utility."
