Delaware Bill Would Eliminate 8% Limit on Customer Energy Generation

Delaware lawmakers are considering legislation that would eliminate current restrictions on how much energy customers can generate through net metering programs.

The proposed bill would modify Delaware’s public utilities regulations by removing the existing 8 percent limitation on net energy metering for customer-generated power.

Under current law, there is a cap that limits the amount of customer-generated energy that can be fed back into the grid through net metering arrangements. The new legislation would eliminate this restriction entirely.

The measure represents a change to Title 26 of the Delaware Code, which governs public utilities and energy regulations in the state.
