Summary
Delaware House Bill 269 requires electric suppliers to align their interconnection rules for net-metering with the most recent Model Interconnection Procedures published by the Interstate Renewable Energy Council. Electric suppliers must update their interconnection rules within 12 months after the Interstate Renewable Energy Council publishes an updated version of the Model Procedures. Net-metering allows customers with renewable energy systems to send excess electricity back to the grid and receive credits on their utility bills. The bill ensures Delaware's net-metering interconnection standards remain current with national best practices and facilitate renewable energy adoption.
