In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty-Six
AN ACT
relative to customer-generators inadvertently enrolled in a municipal or county aggregation program.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
179:1 New Paragraph; Limited Electrical Energy Producers Act; Net Energy Metering. Amend RSA 362-A:9 by inserting after paragraph XXIII the following new paragraph:
XXIV.(a) A customer-generator that is inadvertently enrolled in a municipal or county aggregation program adopted and operating under RSA 53-E by error or without the customer-generator's consent, if required, may request that the customer-generator's electric distribution utility re-enroll the customer-generator in the utility’s default energy service.
(b) Upon receipt of the customer-generator’s petition, the electric distribution utility shall:
(1) Investigate the customer-generator's enrollment status within 20 business days;
(2) If such inadvertent enrollment is confirmed, restore the customer to default service as of the start of the next billing cycle, provided that the final determination is made within 2 business days prior to the start of that billing cycle; and
(3) Retroactively apply net metering credits for exported kilowatt-hours for a period of up to
4 monthly billing cycles prior to the effective re-enrollment date, with such credits based on the applicable net metering tariff in effect for the customer-generator during the period of inadvertent disenrollment from utility default energy service. Any credits from energy exported more than 4 months prior to the customer notifying the utility shall not be recoverable from the utility.
(c) Retroactive credits issued by the utility under this paragraph shall be recoverable from all customers consistent with recovery of the utility’s net metering expenses.
179:2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
Approved: June 19, 2026
Effective Date: August 18, 2026
