Title: Status of Net Metering: Assessing the Potential to Reach Program Caps

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1158423· OSTI ID:1158423

Several states are addressing the issue of net metering program caps, which limit the total amount of net metered generating capacity that can be installed in a state or utility service territory. In this analysis, we examine net metering caps to gain perspective on how long net metering will be available in various jurisdictions under current policies. We also surveyed state practices and experience to understand important policy design considerations.
