Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick Signed Net Metering Legislation on August 6, 2014

Posted August 8th, 2014 by SRECTrade.

S.2214, Massachusetts’ latest net metering legislation  was signed in to law by Governor Deval Patrick on August 6, 2014. The bill history is available here. The legislation raises the existing Massachusetts net metering capacity limits from 3% to 5 % of total load for public projects and 3% to 4% for private projects. Additionally, the legislation creates a new 17 member task force to review the long-term viability of net metering in the Commonwealth and develop recommendations on incentives and programs that will support the deployment of solar moving forward. The task force must first convene on or before October 1, 2014.
